Re: does tabbing raise an alt tag? was Re: Tooltips in HTML

This depends on the browser. So for your favourite browser maker, write
to them and ask for this feature to be included.

(It may be that your browser is reprogrammable - some are to a certain extent
- and you could do something like tell it to raise a tooltip on element
focus. Of course the othre problem is that not every element can take focus
in most browsers).

  Is there a  way to show the alt tag via the keyboard?

  Terminology has its purpose, however it is a poor servant when used to
