hello, i was wondering if there is a way so that i may be able to display a tooltip text or something like that when a user places their mouse pointer over the gif's that i've created in fireworks. thanks...

isn't the alt text = "" only when the gif won't show up?

Glad you got it figured out.

how would i break the line to the next line for example...

alt="TUESDAY BOLD 12:45 PM
St. Bart's Small Chapel
50th St. & Park Ave."

i put the <br> tags in there but they showup in the text....

In the image tag (<img src="blah.gif">), put alt in there, with the text you want in quotes (<img src="blah.gif" alt="Blah">).

i've figured it out a long time ago... just to let you guys know how i did it, i just put in

alt="something here
next line is shown
just by going to the
next line"

the key part here is that the beginning of the next line must be all the way to the left.

thanks guys for your time....

Hmm.. I don't know how to do that one. From a cursory check, t doesn't look like it's possible through Dreamweaver's IU. I think I've seen it done before, though.

It'll show up if the gif doesn't show up, but will also show up if you hover your cursor over the image for a few seconds.

I don't think you need any quotes in Dreamweaver. Click on the gif you want and in the property inspector fill in the ALT tag (small box on the top right side. As monkey pointed out the words will show up with or without the gif on mouse over.
