Title Tag for Background Image

Sent by Paul Novitski on 16 February 2005 19:07


PS:  It occurs to me that your #splash div may contain much more than the 
background image portion for which you'd want the title.  To avoid having 
the title pop up when the user is mousing over the non-image portions of 
the screen, I'd modify the markup like so:

<div id="splash">
         ...
         [navigation menus, etc.]
         ...
         <div id="spashbackground" title="Variable title text goes here"></div>

</div><!-- #splash -->

Position the spashbackground div against the right-hand side of the parent 
splash div, and apply your background image to #spashbackground instead of 
#splash.

(Because the div that contains the title has dimension but is transparent, 
the background div could actually be applied to the parent div.  I just 
thought it made more sense to apply the background image and the title to a 
single page element.)
