alt is an attribute, not a tag, and it is not for mouse over, it shows up when image is not loaded, try using title instead

So try this

<table> <tr> <td title="Employee Name">1</td> <td title="Another Employee Name">2</td> </tr> </table> Share Improve this answer Follow answered Dec 13, 2012 at 15:45 Mr. AlienMr. Alien 157k3636 gold badges303303 silver badges285285 bronze badges Add a comment |
