The "alt tag" never appears for the pictures!!!??
I am a web-designer, and whenever i trying to use the alt tag for the pictures it never appears.
The "alt tag" is a part of the HTML language, and the one writes it to make sure that the visitor of the site will see or understand the content of the pics, even if he has a very bad connection.
like so:
Every thing goes right with the width or the height, but when it comes with the "alt" it never appears.
I tried it on IE and Opera, and it works.
Plz if you know how can i solve this problem send me to

Alt is not for tooltips, that is misbehavior from Internet Explorer. To show a tooltip you must use the title attribute. In fact, in order to create a truly web standards compliant webpages, you must specify both. Alt is shown if there is no image available, title is for the tooltip.
