me: i really doln't understand the difference between alt & title
gurumyfriend: title is for the tooltips, alt is for when someone doesn't load the pix
me: ok it validates now 
me: but why is alt required & not title
gurumyfriend: well, alt is more important
gurumyfriend: if you surf non-graphically, you want to know what the pic _is_
gurumyfriend: and you could for ex. have an image with
gurumyfriend: alt="mother polar bear licking her cub"
gurumyfriend: and title="how cute!"
I won’t be able to forget that, methinks.
