Why doesn't the alt tag work in firefox to open a description of an image on mouseover

In IE, when I roll my mosue over an image, it gives a tooltip description of the image contained in the html alt tag. Why doesn't this work in Firefox?

The "alt" tag is meant to show text when the image isn't loaded, the "title" tag is meant for a description of an image on cursor hover. IE has been doing that wrong for many years, where Firefox follows W3C standards. A properly coded webpage should have both "alt" and "title" tags.

  • Why doesn't the virtual keyboard work with firefox on my dell venue 8 pro windows 8.1 tablet?

    When I try to enter text in any text-entry box, i.e, in the url , search, or on a website, the virtual keyboard doesn't activate. I have to manually activate and deactivate it. It works for Google Chrome, but sadly not for firefox, my preferred browser. The tablet is up-to-date with the latest drivers and updates.

    Thanks for the reply. No, it's the virtual keyboard that is integrated into window 8.1. I haven't installed any 3rd party keyboards

  • Why Doesn't the XIRR function work?

    In Excel if you have 5 records from a1:b5 then XIRR looks like this:
    XIRR(A1:A5, B1:B5) you get a nice neat answer like .35
    Here is a version that works in Crystal that would require manual entry of any new quarters numbers and dates-- and if you plug this into Crystal it works:
    (XIRR([1000000,-100000,-100000,-100000,-100000,10277.49,-100000], [DateValue(1999,2,1),DateValue(1999,3,1),DateValue(1999,6,1), DateValue(1999,12,1),DateValue(2000,3,1),DateValue(2000,6,1),DateValue(2000,9,1)]))*.100
    You do get a nice answer of something like .035.  But this is all done manually and I need it to function automatically when the report is refreshed.
    So you have a range for the currency and a range for the date fields. I need to simulate this in crystal. Crystal has an XIRR function, and with the arrays, I should be able to fill in the range, but am having difficulty getting it to work.
    After building the arrays, I made another formula to combine the arrays in the XIRR formula.
    I am down to this error now after getting this formula this far  --
    "Numerical method did not converge; try another value for guess."
    Here's where I am with the formula, although they don't want to use the guess part of the XIRR function - they just want to use the XIRR(number/currency, date).  Maybe you could pass this on too?:
    /{@Reset} for the group header (NOT using a repeated group header):
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x := 0;
    datevar array y := date(0,0,0);
    numbervar i := 0;
    numbervar j := 0;
    //{@accum} for the detail section:
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x;
    datevar array y;
    numbervar i := i + 1;
    numbervar j := count({table.groupfield},{table.groupfield});
    if i <= j then (
    redim preserve x[j];
    redim preserve y[j];
    x<i> := tonumber({table.currency});
    y<i> := datevalue({table.datetime})
    //{@xirr calc} to be placed in the group footer:
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x;
    datevar array y;
    xirr(x,y)
    The array works correctly.  So why do I get that error and why doesn't the XIRR formula work like they say it should?  Has anyone used this successfully in Crystal--maybe you could shed some light?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am receiving that same error when the last item in the array is 0, otherwise all works perfectly.
    When I run the same group of numbers and dates in Excel it returns without issue.
    -265500.00,-690000.00,-570000.00,16814.25,-855000.00,-619500.00,55293.46,30411.40,15183.76,  0.00
    01-25-2007,03-06-2007,05-02-2007,06-29-2007,08-01-2007,08-24-2007,09-17-2007,03-14-2008,05-28-2008,03-31-2010
    =XIRR(A2:J2,A1:J1,-0.1)
    Is there a known bug in Crystal's XIRR function when the last value is 0? 
    Or a hot-fix that will repair this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary

  • Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
    My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.

  • Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

    I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
    Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
    Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
    It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
    I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
    It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
    Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.  

    Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience.  I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion.  I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
    First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file?  You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Why doesn't the 'Reanalyze' button work?

    After accidentally syncing both the Upright Mode and the Upright Transforms (instead of just the mode) from 1 photo to approximately 200 other photos, I noticed something quite strange.
    When selecting the 'Auto' upright mode on any of the other pictures, the transformation was done using data from the original photo.
    When realising that I'd synced that transformation data across to a load of photos that it didn't apply to, I tried pressing the 'Reanalyze' button. This seems to have no effect - the images are still incorrectly transformed.
    The only solution was to manually reset every synced photo to its imported state (although I suppose I could have undone the sync operation, but I only realised this after doing other changes). After doing this, the transformations work correctly.
    Perhaps I have misunderstood what the button does, but if I have, then I can't see how you are meant to resolve this problem

  • Why doesn't my alt key work?

    In my Photoshop CC, the alt key only duplicates the layer; I can’t use the clone tool or the healing brush.  Does anyone know what is going on here?

    Or Diane might be trying to use the Spot Healing brush and Clone tools on empty layers without Sample all layers checked.  Or working outside an active selection.  I expect there are conditions that would cause such behaviour.
    Diane, if you are convinced everything is set right, and there is no user error (we all do user error now and again) then you might need to reset the tool from the Preset panel or Options bar.  Or if that doesn't help, it might be time to reset Preferences  (hold down Shift Ctrl Alt - Shift Cmd Opt while starting Photoshop.)

  • Why doesn't my custom tag work?

    First, my backend database is MS Access. Nothing I can do about that, unfortunately.
    I have defined three custom tags (no body, no attributes) to display report information from my project tracking/metrics Access database:
    <prefix:showProjectInfo />
    <prefix:showProjectTeam />
    <prefix:showProjectHistory />
    In my JSP, the first tag I use, <prefix:showProjectInfo />, works perfectly. However, <prefix:showProjectTeam /> gives no output.

  • Why doesn't the replace option of JavaScript's window.open method work with FireFox 3 or 4?

    The photo html files on the Fanac Fan History project's website are now setup to be displayed properly when JavaScript is disabled and reformatted by a php script when JavaScript is enabled. The reformatting adds some features and positions each photo's caption and credits based on the width of the photo and the browser's page width. This worked well except that when a photo page was accessed the browser's back button wouldn't work properly. This was because I had failed to include the replace option in my windows.open statement. The statement now reads fileWindow = window.open(fileURL, "_self", "", true); and this has cured the problem with IE and the other browsers but it still doesn't work with FireFox.

  • Why doesn't the google toolbar work in 4.0.1? I select it and it won't display!

    I have re-loaded 4.0.1 to see if it just loaded incorrectly, but no. I select the Google Toolbar (from View/Toolbars) and it loads a blank gray bar to the page. But no info at all. I can choose and unchoose the toolbar repeatedly, same result. Plain gray bar.
    If I can't add a search box to Firefox, I'll have to go back to IE. Help!

    The Google Toolbar extension doesn't come with the official versions of Firefox that are downloaded from Mozilla download mirrors, maybe you installed a special "Google version" of Firefox 4.
    {Ctrl + Shft + A} to open the Add-ons Manager tab, select Extensions, then locate the Google Toolbar extension, and hit the Uninstall button. Restart Firefox using the button in that extension dialog.
