Questions about Firefox

[Malcolm Bull]

For various reasons, I have moved from IE to Firefox, but I have come across 2 problems thus far.  Can anyone help me?

1]  On my websites, I specify text in the ALT field of an <IMG tag so that, when the reader's mouse hovers over the image, the piece of text appears.  This works OK in IE but nothing appears when I view the page with Firefox

2]  When I view ROOTSCHAT with Firefox, the NOTIFY / NEW TOPIC / NEW POLL buttons don't appear

Hi,

1). The alt attribute is meant to be used as an alternative text if the image is not available, it is not intended to be used as mouse-over text. To show a mouse-over text on images or image-maps, use the title attribute, like this:

<img src="myimage.gif" alt="A description of myimage" title="Text used for mouse-over" />


2). Displays OK here - using Firefox 3.0.10 (rv:1.9.0.10 Gecko/2009042513) running under Linux.

Have you tried a refresh by pressing CTRL=F5 together ?

They appear as normal for me.

Hi,

Not sure about the text/image display issue, but all the buttons are here for me too, I also use FireFox (latest version) with WinXP Pro, SP3 and half a gazzilion FF extensions loaded...

Works ok for me on a variety of XP and Linux OSs.  You haven't got Java/script blocked have you?  Look under Tools/Options/Content, or if you have Noscript or a similar addon tell it to permit rootschat.

Re 1 - As said,  IE was the villain here in not conforming to the HTML standards

re 2 - This can sometimes happen if you are using Noscript or Adblock unless you add Rootschat to the accepted areas

Works OK for me too.  Don't know what version of Firefox I have, but it's the latest and I've got Windows Vista.

Thanks to all.  I resolved both my problems with your help.

If I can add one further note of praise for FIREFOX, I must say that the Add-Ons are excellent features of FIREFOX.  Once I got used to handling them [or, at least, handling the ones I've come across], I was more than impressed by what they let you do.

Now, why didn't IE think of them?

Thanks again to all
