By popular demand, I have
May 1st, 2002
By popular demand, I have added comments to the “Recently Consumed Media” section located on the right over there —> and I updated it for the first time in weeks! If you mouse over that cute little comment graphic, it will tell you how many comments have been made on that bit of media. It’s crazy-get-stuff-done day here. w00t!

Actually, most (standards-compliant) browsers don’t display the alt value in the img tag. The alt thing should only be displayed by browsers that are unable to show images. If you want to display a mouse-over text, you need to use the title attribute.
Hmm. I have the count code displaying in both the alt and the title. Is it not displaying for you?
I think you’re supposed to put the title attribute inside the img tag, not the a tag (unless it’s a text link – in that case the title goes inside the a tag).
Interesting. I did some reading up on this and, as usual, every browser seems to handle it differently. I had the count displaying in the alt of the image tag and the title of the link. Now I have added the title to the image. Does it work? What browser/OS are you using?
It works fine now. I’m using http://www.konqueror.org/'>Konqueror on Linux. It’s a very standards-compliant browser with support for most new standards.
Cool. Thanks for your help, Jonas!
