"Click to Enlarge"

Report · Feb 23, 2007

In Dreamweaver 8 I have inserted a map (gif). However, I would like to add a small text box that says "Click to Enlarge" when the pointer floats over the picture. How do I add this?

I am pretty new to DW so I can't make promises here but if you click on your map image and look in the Property Inspector window, you should see a drop down called 'Alt' which may currently be populated with '<empty>'... Type your text in here to have the text pop up on mouseover.

I know this works with .jpg images as I have done it myself.

Nope. IE is the only browser in creation that displays alt attribute values
onmouseover. To make this happen you need to use the title attribute, not
the alt attribute, and the only way to get that is to either use the tag
editor panel, or to enter it in code view, e.g.,

<img title="this is the way"....
