how the alt displays in src="images/display_report.gif" alt="CLICK HERE
FOR RESULTS"

Using "alt" text as a tooltip is only done by Internet Explorer, and is
considered a bug of that browser by many people.

The correct way of adding supplimentary information to page elements is
using the "title" attribute. This is supported by almost every graphical
browser, including Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Safari,
Konqueror, etc.

<a href="http://www.example.com/"; title="Extra hint text">example</a>

<img src="images/display_report.gif" alt="Results"
title="Click here for results.">

<p title="This is a paragraph.">Foo bar bat.</p>
