[Wolves] mozilla annoyances ?

Why do we say alt tag not alt atribute?
<img src="blah.png" \><alt ="an image showing blah" \> just wouldn't work
would it?

Most editors which I've seen always name alt rather than title esp. for
images
IE pops those annoying buttons over images too, similar distracting
behaviour like "alt tags", which is really annoying. Oh Mozilla annoyances
....... things breaking randomly and for no apparent reason, being a few
pixels out etc.

sparkes spoo'd forth:

And, at risk of looking repetitive:
