In Frontpage 2000, is there a way to make text appear over a pictgure when
the viewer puts his cursor on it?

You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Try adding alt="some text here" into the <img> tag
e.g. <img src="myimage.jpg" alt="some text here" />
This can be done in HTML view. At least I think this is what it was called
in FP2000. In FP2003, it is Code view - this is one of the tabs at the
bottom of the page

Title text should be used as well. Alt text does not show in some
browsers, except when the image itself does not show.
<img src="pic.jpg" alt="some text" title="some text" width="300"
height="400">

Exactly.
Specifically, the ALT attribute for an image is actually used as the
placeholder text for an image when not loaded. It is also what a screen
reader uses to tell the visually impaired what the image is. IE also will
generate the tooltip which you are seeking.
The TITLE attribute; on the other hand, is use for the tooltip in the other
browsers. IE will also display as the tooltip rather than the ALT
information. The TITLE attribute can also be used for most other tags (<p>
<span> <div> etc) with the same results

Many thanks for the corrections.
When I saw the post, I THOUGHT "title" but I typed "alt". Talk about your
fingers being disconnected from your brain. Or perhaps my brain was on
holiday !!
