Re: [IUG] Changing mouse over message on buttons

Katherine - yes no problem with inserting the title attribute.
Example:

BUT_WHATEVER=/screens/my_buttons.gif title="really, really verbose hunka words

Do not close the quotes - the system does that

Does anyone know if you can insert a title attribute into the BUT_ wwwoptions so that the text will display in Firefox?  

By the way, thanks to the original poster for asking this question, and for all the responses.  It's been very helpful.

Note that this will result in invalid HTML (two alt 
attributes)---what do most screen readers do when they encounter two 
alt attributes in an image element?  Read the first?  Read both?  Ignore both?
