1. Re: title tag requested
MurraySummers Sep 1, 2010 9:15 AM (in response to I Love Doing Websites)dreamweaver should havea box for the title tag or when you add an alt tag to an img Dreamweaver should automatically add the title tag with the same information of the alt tag.
You are saying 'title tag' buy it seems like you mean title attribute, is that correct? Also, it's not optimal to have the same content in title and alt attributes since they have different purposes.
So I'm a little puzzled as to what exactly it is you are asking for....

3. Re: title tag requested
MurraySummers Sep 1, 2010 9:33 AM (in response to I Love Doing Websites)The difference is completely explained on the W3C website, but in a nutshell -
* the alt attribute's value is only shown when the local browser has been configured to NOT fetch images. If this is the case, you will actually see the alt attribute's content on the page in the place where the image would normally be shown. This display is not a timed display - as long as you are looking at the page, the alt attribute's contents will be shown. In addition, the alt attribute's value is read by a screen reader to describe the image (which obviously cannot be seen). The alt attribute and its value, therefore, is an accessibility enhancement. I don't believe it serves any other function.
* the title attribute's value is shown as a 'tooltip' on the screen as you hover over the image with the pointer. It is intended to contain information about the FUNCTION of the image, not a description of the image, for example "click to see an enlargement". It has no accessibility function, but can be used by Search Engines to garner information about the page and its mission. The display of this information is timed - the tooltip will disappear after a few seconds.
I believe that is the primary difference between them.
So, if that is what you meant in your original post, I don't think it's a desirable thing to always have the same information in each. Notwithstanding that, I do believe I recall an extension for earlier versions of DW that would do this - have you looked on the Adobe Exchange?
