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? If not how are we to arrange there is in the future? Terminology has its purpose, however it is a poor servant when used to obfuscate. jonathan chetwynd IT teacher (LDD) j.chetwynd@btinternet.com http://www.peepo.com "The first and still the best picture directory on the web" -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
