Description

The HTML generated for a changes report contains <alt> tags for the images, but it also needs <title> tags otherwise the hover text does not appear in many browsers.

Sample of current output:

<tr class="b"><td><img src="images/fix.gif" alt="fix"></td>

How it should look:

<tr class="b"><td><img src="images/fix.gif" alt="fix" title="fix"></td>

I've created a sample HTML page to make it easy to test using a browser:

http://people.apache.org/~sebb/maven/alt_title.html

Only IE displays the alt text; FF, Opera and Chrome don't.

All 4 browsers display the title text.

According to http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_IMG.asp

Tip: The alt attribute is meant to be used as an alternative text if the image is not available, not as a mouse-over text. To show a mouse-over text on images or image-maps, use the title attribute, like this: <img src="angry.gif" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" />
