I'll rely on an old motorcycle saying to answer that one: "If I have to
explain, you wouldn't understand."
Ummm ... what makes you say that?
You have no need to read the specs (recommendations)? Or are you saying
you're a genius and have learned the recommendations thoroughly?
And just where have I said that you should use an 'alt' to give you a
tooltip *instead of* a title? Try and focus.
No, you just said that it's handy that alt is used as a tooltip. It
isn't; it's incorrect and as someone else said, annoying to have to put
in all those alt="" to get rid of something that shouldn't be there in
the first place.
If I hadn't got a hammer, I would ;-)
Not go get a hammer, huh? Good thing you aren't my neighbor, I'd never
let you borrow any of my tools.
Again, if I have to explain, you wouldn't understand.
There are enough bad web sites/pages out there already created by people
that don't know how and won't learn how to do it properly (meet the
recommendations, even old transitional html is better than tag soup).
You apparantly want to be one more bad designer. Most people at least
have an excuse, they don't even know that there is a recommendation.
