<!-- Greetings, Lynx users. There is a reason this page doesn't use ALT tags | |
on the images. The reason is that the bozos responsible for both MSIE | |
and Netscape Confusicator 4.0 decided that they would display the ALT | |
tags of images every time you move the mouse over them -- even if the | |
images are loaded, and even if they are not links. The ALT attribute | |
to the IMG tag is supposed to be used *instead of* the image, not *in | |
addition to* the image. | |
This looks absolutely terrible, so I don't use ALT tags any more in | |
self-defense. | |
If they wanted to implemented tooltips, they should have used the TITLE | |
attribute to the A tag. That's in the HTML 1.2 spec and everything. | |
I had to decide between making this page look good for the vast majority | |
of viewers, or making it be readable by the miniscule minority of you | |
stuck in the 70s. Those of you in the retro contingent lost. Sorry. | |
