What are the difference in what they do? After breifly reading up on this, it's unclear to me what the difference is- I use the img_alt to get the image caption when hovering the cursor over the image, and it seemed from the info I read that the tooltip entry would do basically the same thing. I notice (with my browser, at least) that I can leave the tooltip line empty and the img_alt text will appear when hovering. So is there any reason to use the tooltip also?--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 12:04, 5 March 2012 (MST) | What are the difference in what they do?

| + | :Yes, they basically do the same thing. Technically the img_alt tag is supposed to be used as an '''''alt'''ernative'' to seeing the image, like for vision-impaired users using a screen reader. And the tooltip is supposed to provide additional information about an element, for any type of user. Functionally they can be very similar, especially with how different browsers choose to interpret them differently.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 10:43, 6 March 2012 (MST) | ||
