Hi,
in this forum we have all these nice icons attached to the nick. But you can't see what they mean unless you permanentely look at the legend. But even that does not help for the empires.
First I thought it is a problem of Gecko / Mozilla / Firefox / Netscape. But now I found what's wrong. The forum is optimized for IE and IE is not W3C compliant. IE does show a tooltip but other browsers don't.
Please add title= to all of the icons in the HTML code. alt= is not sufficient. Ore simply replace alt= with title=.
I tested it with several browsers and it worked all the time (even with buggy IE
and it is W3C compliant.
e.g. old
img width=20 height=20 src="../metaverse/images/707.jpg" alt="Star Fleet Empire"
new
img width=20 height=20 src="../metaverse/images/707.jpg" title="Star Fleet Empire"
Details can be found in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25537
This is the relevant abstract:
"2) If "x" and "y" are different pieces of simple text, then the two browsers
behave differently with respect to a rollover, as follows:
IE6: title="x" (no alt=) Shows "x"
alt="y" (no title=) Shows "y"
title="x" alt="y" Shows "y" (note that alt has priority over title)
Moz: title="x" (no alt=) Shows "x"
alt="y" (no title=) Shows nothing
title="x" alt="y" Shows "x"
Many thanks, Walldorf2000
