Make alt tag display quicker

Question

Is there anyway to get the alt tag to display quicker?

Also, I notice it doesn't show in all browsers. I know I should craft a javascript tooltip but I am looking for something really lite with minimal code.

Answer 1

The speed at which an alt tag displays is a function of the browser software and possibly OS-based settings. You're only going to get a faster response with a custom script.

Answer 2

The alt attribute is meant to show up if the img is NOT shown. You probably want to use the title attribute if you're specifying tooltips.

How fast it displays is browser ( or OS ) dependent. You can't control it with html or CSS.

A good alternative would be to program a javascript alternative with jQuery.

Answer 3

You can use Tooltips to show the Title Attribute faster and nicer :) Not Alt...
