HTML image alternate tag is not displaying in FF

[ak1dnar]

Hi, need a favor on this HTML element.
I am using this tag for for my web Application to print some buttons along with some products.
[HTML]<a href="javascript:get_id(1001)">
<img width="21" height="22" border="0" alt="Add Inquries" src="images_store/b_iqn.jpg"/>
</a>[/HTML]

problem is the alternate message is displaying in IE but not in FF.
i there any way to display this alt in FF, and what is the reason for Not displaying it in FF.

Try adding the title attribute too with the same text. Firefox follows the specifications and only uses the alt when an image cannot be displayed. IE will use the title attribute as the "tool tip" before using the alt attribute.

[HTML]<a href="javascript:get_id(1001)">
<img width="21" height="22" border="0" alt="Add Inquries" title="Add Inquries" src="images_store/b_iqn.jpg"/>
</a>[/HTML]
