I am trying to remember how to do this and I can’t look for help because I can’t remember what it’s called:

I have a graphic that I want to set so that when you rest or scroll a mouse over it a short text box comes up telling what the image is of. Does anybody know how to do this in MS Frontpage 2000 or, for that matter, what it’s called?

Thanks.

That’s “alternate-text.” All you need to do is add it to the image tag itself. Find where your image is in the HTML code, it’ll say

```auto

<IMG SRC="whatever.jpg">

```

You should change it to say

```auto

<IMG SRC="whatever.jpg" ALT="Text goes here.">

```

Also, I noticed you’re asking a lot of HTML-related questions lately. A good online resource is [HTMLgoodies](http://www.htmlgoodies.com).
