Is there any free software which i can get to do the following:

I have old photographs of people which i have scanned and want to add the
names of the people so that when viewed in IE6 as i hovver over the heads of
the people, a small info pane (or pop up) shows their name.

Is there such freeware ??

Cheers
Andy
 
Have you ever tried programming in HTML?
with the <IMG> - Tag you may add a ToolTip, IIRC!

But dont ask me how to do it, i dont know at the moment
 
Hi,

You could either do one of the following:

1.

Cut and paste the following in a index.html file and fill in the image
location (SRC and the text you want to display ALT). Then copy the the TD
and IMG tag for every picture.

<HTML>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<!-- Repeat TD and IMG tag for every image>
<TD>
<IMG SRC=" location of image" ALT=" Text you want to display">

</TR>
</TABLE>
</HTML>

2.
Use my freeware http://moonlit.xs4all.nl/MeAndMyGall.exe
which does more or less the same.

Yes and body etc., just didn't want to type all that :-)

However it will work those tags aren't really needed. However if the OP
really likes to write good HTML look for XHTML on the http://www.w3c.org
site.

The text in the alt tag isn't displayed in Mozilla browsers.
For those browsers the tooltip is displayed with the title="some text" tag.
So it's better to include both them.
