mouse hover displays image name?

br8derz — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 08:08:37 GMT

When I hover the mouse over any image or shape on my web page it displays the image name ..."image.jpg" in a yellow box.

Is there any way of stopping this??

Many thanks

Brad

You can edit the <IMG> tags, adding the "ALT" attribute. This way, you can add text to display instead of the filename when the mouse is hovered over the image. For example, the following code:

<img src="product1.png" alt="Product 1" />

Will display the text, Product 1 when the mouse is hovered over the image.

Thanks that will certainly make it better, but is there a way to disable it altogether?

Thanks

Now what? A reply was posted and nothing appeared!

If you double click on the image and select "I", then some of the image properties appear. If you delete the content of these two lines, then no words appear when you hover.
