I’d like you to hover your mouse pointer over the mugshot on the left. What does the tooltip text say?
- Ivan’s blog posts
- You are using a stupid browser
If it’s the former, congratulations on using a smart browser. If it’s the latter, then I know you’re using Internet Explorer, even though you might be on the latest version.
From the HTML 4.01 Specification, Objects, Images, and Applets:
“The alt attribute specifies alternate text that is rendered when the image cannot be displayed (see below for information on how to specify alternate text ). User agents must render alternate text when they cannot support images, they cannot support a certain image type or when they are configured not to display images.”
So, is anyone else other than Microsoft confused by this? It seems pretty simple to me: Your browser will either show the image or the alt text, but never both.

Which can be annoying the next time you use it and it tries to “autocomplete” your URL in the location bar. To remove any entries you no longer want, scroll through the URL history list and press the “shift+delete” keys.
