How would I implement a customized ALT text when the mouse rolls over the image?

Example website: http://steff.altervista.org/index.php

I would like to have more information in the ALT text other than the name of the previous image.

Thanks

Mike

doh!

I used to OVERLIB library, found in the ratings addon

as suggested by the creator of this addon, I just modified my template in this way:

1) in the head part, add

Code:

&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="overlib/overlib.js">&lt;/script>
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="overlib/overlib_fade.js">&lt;/script>

2) change the HTML image-display commands to:

Code:

&lt;a href="index.php?showimage=&lt;IMAGE_PREVIOUS_ID>"
onmouseover="return overlib('Click to see previous image: &lt;b>&lt;IMAGE_PREVIOUS_TITLE>&lt;/b>', BGCOLOR, '#333366', FGCOLOR, '#FFFFFF', OPACITY, '60' );"
onmouseout="return nd();">
&lt;img id="image" src="images/&lt;IMAGE_NAME>" width="&lt;IMAGE_WIDTH>" height="&lt;IMAGE_HEIGHT>" />&lt;/a>

Does anyone know how to modify steffs code to display the previous image thumbnail instead of the previous image id? I tried to get the overlib to "float" the thumb but did not have any success. For now I have used steffs code to display the prev image name only.

Thanks
