using alt tag to do mouse over

[Trimble, Beheen]

Hi Kristian,

Alt or Title, still I need it to be a mapserver/cgi variable that when I
submit the request, extracts the site_name from the shapefile. I don't
know the site_name before hand. I can not hard code the value.

Thanks
Beheen

As an aside, the alt text doesn't show as a tooltip in Firefox,
because that's not what the 'alt' attribute is for. Use the
attribute 'title' for that, if you care about web standards.

regards,
Kristian
