A long approach, but far far better than the usual slog up the track at

side of the A9, this route gives a real feel of remoteness and adds true
character to these hills!

where it says, "images with red borders have named hills on mouse
over."

It requires javascript and is I fear IE specific. If you are running
Firefox like I usually do now, it doesn't work.

The technique is to use an Image Map, unfortunately it doesn't work!. When I hover the mouse, the
cursor changes to a hand pointer and nothing appears. That is because the hill name text is in the
wrong tag - it should be in the title tag, not the alt tag which is for a different purpose.

It doesn't need javascript - just leave the alt text null and put the text in the title tag and it
works fine.

You are absolutely right, The "Title" tag is the correct one. I often make
this mistake as my html editor defaults to the "alt" tag. I then don't see
the fault myself as I use IE ! and for what ever reason the alt tag does
show tool tip text in IE.

The "Alt" tab is primalily designed to display text in place of an image if
that image dosn't load or is missing, therefor it is absurd for the alt tag
to work on any platform.
