How to add alt text to css rollover text? 1

[DrySnot]

Is there any way to do do this? Right now if you view the page without images no text displays over over the links.

<table align="center">
<tr>
<td><a href="index.html" class="home">Home</a></td> 
<td><a href="forums/index.php" class="forum">Forum</a></td>
<td><a href="snotshop.html" class="snotshop">SnotShop</a></td> 
<td><a href="contact.html" class="contact">Contact</a></td> 
<td><a href="links.html" class="links">Links</a></td> 
</tr></table>

If I'm understanding this right, just add a title attribute to your links.
<a href="index.html" class="home" [red]title="whatever you want the alt text to say"[/red]>Home</a>


If not, maybe you could elaborate a bit more on what it is you want.

I have tried that already but its not showing up any of the text.

The problem is I have images of text and I use css to rollover the images.

I just found out that text only browsers are not picking up the links. If you open the page without images you can still click on my links you just can see where they are or tell what link you are clicking.

Well of course not because there's nothing to tell you there's a link there, since you have your text indent at -9999 your effectively sending your text outside the viewable area.

However, there should be no problem with the title attribute text even if your using CSS roll overs. They should not conflict with one another.

It your right. I can't see the text in fire fox but if I hover the mouse over the link then it shows up. So maybe a text browser will pick it up after all.

Thanks for your help M8

Don't use images containing text for navigation. They are extremely problematic.

So far I have decided to add the links to the footer of my site. It doesn't require changing everything around and also takes care of my accessibility issues.

Thanks for all your help and advice.
