Allo Scott
You can make title and alt appear together. I will make a demo and send it
to you.

Please see my reply to Ian. I dispute the wrongness of my approach in that
message. I didn't abuse an alt tag. For what I wanted to do, alt was the
way to go, not title. My Norsk browser doesn't display ALT in a tooltip,
so it behaves.
Please remember that with CSS generated content you add functionality and
there is no tradeoff to suffer through. In my opinion, given a minimal
markup, it is up to the designer what to use for a particular application,
and a must-must-not philosophy no longer applies, Chris.

That is a shortcoming of that browser. When I compose CSS experiments, it
is not my intention to cater for browser quirks, shortcomings, and
inefficiencies. All I do is code a minimal markup, and keep to standard
with respect to CSS, and explore what I can do with it. I never said that
my work was a recommendation to anyone and everyone under the sun.
