Popup images’ ALT text like IE and Netscape, also optimize TITLE and ALT for readability.
Automatically show image description in order: TITLE > ALT > SRC.
100% config free! Install and forget ;)

把最佳的圖片描述,以IE和Netscape的Popup方式呈現。
自動以此順序作描述: TITLE > ALT > SRC.
100%免設定,一次安裝,永遠無憂 ;)

由於出現嚴重效能問題 問題解決前插件無限期撒回
Due to serious performance impact reported, this addon was being retreated until I found solution.

Popup images’ attribute doesn’t meet the w3c standard,
but it could be inconvient without it since many websites are designed for IE.
This script is for transitional use. For web developers, please use “title” for on hover tooltips!

雖然圖片”alt”屬性根據W3C標準並非用做Popup tooltip之用,
但現時仍有很多網站專為IE設計,忽略非IE使用者的需要,為Firefox使用者帶來麻煩。
這程式只用作過渡用途。網頁開發者們,請使用標準的”title”作tooltip之用!

    This script hangs itself up by continuously creating images (“Detect broken image” part of it). If you add some debug output to it you will see that the Initialize() function runs all the time on sites like Google Maps – and it is going through more and more images all the time (its newly created images are added to the images collection as well).;. All the best!!

    Nice script.
    But! makes Firefox slow when visiting websites, it’s very bad.

    Better Image Tooltip is great, but there’s an issue with the way the extension labels dead images. For people who use spacer GIF’s to pad their layouts, the labels make the page look really silly.

    Is there any way to work around that problem?
