Al:

This is my spin from your work:

http://www.webbytedd.com/b1/picture-titles/

My contribution, it zooms.

Please excuse my ignorance -- but, I have two questions:

1. Where do the dots come from? The list style is "none", so why the dots?

2. How is the Alt text brought into this? I don't see the mechanism 
how the Alt text is brought into play -- how does that work?

Cheers,

tedd
