What is the html code for text to appear when someone moves the mouse over a picture?

People never know what they are talking about. The alt="" attribute is NOT the attribute that shows the tooltip popup on a mouseover of an image. Although Internet Explorer does show the tooltip on a mouseover using the alt="" atribute, it is doing it WRONG!

The proper attribute to use in jus about any tag is the title="" attribute. Add this one with the short text description you want along with the alt="" attribute to stay within proper coding standards.
