Hi John:
Is it possible to define something as a JPEG and give it a 'title='

I have tried but can't seem to do it.

Hi Sqeaky.

Look in the Help file under HTML.

There it's explained how to add ALT and TITLE attributes to images.

(The help file calls them "Alt" and "Title" tags which is wrong, they are attributes applied to the <IMG tag)

Hi Sqeaky,
of course you can!
You just need to add two names to the object:
JPEG
title="My tilte!"

[Squeaky]

AH, you mean I can add different names to the same object. I was trying to add all the names separated by commas in one name tag.

A couple of lines about this in the manual might help if there is anyone else as dim as me out there :-)

What exactly does the IMG tab do as opposed to the Title and Alt tags?

[steve.ledger]

squeaky, alt and title are not tags.
You don't need to worry about the (real) <IMG tag in Xtreme, it's done automatically when exporting, it's not something you need to add anywhere.

But FYI, the image tag looks like this:

<img src=picture.jpg>

It's a tag because it starts with a 'lesser-than' symbol '<' and ends with a 'greater-than' symbol '>'.
alt or title are 'attributes' which add things to the image properties. For example;

<img src="picture.jpg" alt="picture of a rabbit">
This will show the words 'Picture of a rabbit' on the page when the browser cannot show the actual image.

<img src="picture.jpg" title="picture of a rabbit">
This will show the words 'Picture of a rabbit' as a tooltip when you hover the mouse over the image on the page.

<img src="picture.jpg" alt="picture of a rabbit" title="picture of a rabbit">
This will show the words 'Picture of a rabbit' on the page when the browser cannot show the actual image AND show the words 'Picture of a rabbit' as a tooltip when you hover the mouse over the image on the page.

Thanks for that.
I've only done Flash sites before and this HTML stuff is a bit alien to me.
Too many words, not enough pictures!
