Thanks Orion for clarifying. To expand a bit: ALT attributes can only be given to IMG, AREA, APPLET, and INPUT elements. See

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/....html#adef-alt

for information on handling the ALT attribute.

The TITLE attribute can be assigned to all elements *except* BASE, BASEFONT, HEAD, HTML, META, PARAM, SCRIPT and TITLE. See

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/...tml#adef-title

Which attributes can be assigned to which elements? There is an overview at
