Use TITLE tags, not ALT tags! Tue. May 20, '03 11:36 AM (permalink)

I noticed ASP Playground is yet another forum package that insists on using ALT tags for tooltips to identify icons. This is not standard HTML.. check the W3C specs. Please use the TITLE tag to identify icons:

IMG SRC=" delete.gif" TITLE=" Delete Post"

Otherwise, the people using the dozens of other browsers that are not IE will not know what the icons mean. Using TITLE tags will not break anything.. it will still pop up tooltips in IE.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. Version 2.0 will use the " title" attribute instead of the " alt" attribute.

should be soon. I recently added the ability to create search engine friendly URL and I am going to wait a while to make sure this feature is flawless before releasing it.

With this feature, search engine bots will not have any problem indexing the messages.
