Hi all,

We have controls(images and buttons) they all have alt text which is working fine in ie10 but when we change it to chrome alt text not displaying i know we can change it to title which is working in both ie and chrome but as pages are in DB n for changing all controls its a very lengthy task. i write a hover jquery which creates title if alt presents for control it works in test project but fails in main project.

So, can anyone suggest me what can i do in order to do minimal change in my project like is there any way to set it via css or any other way. Please help its urgent.

Thanks
Ashish

Well, if you have code that works then I would focus on getting that fixed in the main project.

A quick google search indicates it's a bug in chrome so perhaps you can ignore it.

Of course. You can't possibly support every iteration of every browser. Google will fix it. You can't code around ever little bug that each browser has.

Of course it would have a little sense. I just think that Chrome is usually more standard and supporting it is more important than IE.

IE still has a lot more market share than chrome so I can see working around critical IE errors but if google knows this is an issue and is going to fix it, let them.

Well yes, but it IE "works" and Chrome does not, the fault is usually in IE, and HTML is incorrect. Of course, it should be fixed, but the way both works. Usually it's done by following the standard, but by going beyond it.

i googled that thing but we have to display text on hover as displays in ie.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 6-Aug-13 12:37pm

Not enough information. Some code sample could help. As a rule of thumb: if something is not working with Chrome but is working with IE, IE is at fault, not Chrome. (Sic!)
