I did a little experimentation. It appears that maybe Firefox does not recognize "alt" text. But if I change "alt" to "title" then it works in both Firefox and IE.

For example:

This works in IE but not in Firefox.

<img src=\"" . ROOT_URL . "/images/aolim.gif\" alt=\"Click to send message via AOL IM\" border=\"0\"></a>

This works in IE and Firefox.

<img src=\"" . ROOT_URL . "/images/aolim.gif\" title=\"Click to send message via AOL IM\" border=\"0\"></a>

Do you have any idea why this would be the case? I'm mostly just curious about this.
