Alt tags DOnt show in Netscape

My <alt> tags dont show up in netscape! I also tried to add caption by using: To add a caption I'd did this;
<img src="image1.jpg"> 
Caption
But nothing, the caption text did not go beneath the image, can some one help please? Thanks!

Well, not having seen the code for your problem with the alt tags, I can't say for sure, but it should look like this:

Code:

<img src="yourmom.jpg" height="100" width="3000" alt="Joe, Joe Mama">

As for the caption, where does it show up, if not below the image?

Also, this is really an HTML question, not photoshop

If you want them to show up in Mozilla, you have to use thr title tag:

Code:

<img src="yes_neo.jpg" width="250" height="194" alt="Show Me" title="Show Me">

The reason for that is because the alt attribute is ment to be shown when an image cannot be loaded for some reason. The title attribute is what is supposed to be used to create tool tips on elements.
