The following gives a popup (put in as ALT with software) using IE, but not Firefox.

FF is probably set to block popups.

After looking into your last couple of posts and doing a bit of googling...

If you use the alt attribute in Firefox on images and image maps the text will not show on mouse-over as in other browsers.

Firefox uses the alt attribute the way it's meant to be used, like an alternative text if the image won't load, not as a mouse-over text.

Firefox does support mouse-over comments on images or image maps if you use a title attribute in the <img> tag.


so you need to change it to:

alt="Office right here" title="Office right here"
I tested in FF and it works fine!

By the way, putting spaces between file name and images is bad practise. try using and underscore instead when saving files. i.e "web map" should be saved as "web_map"

gets rid of that annoying %20 thing in the browser.
