Why not put the information into the alt text of the image? JAWS will read alt text, right?

Hi David,

If you are using Firefox, that is probably the reason why. I personally
have never seen the title attribute display in Firefox, only in IE. But
then I'm not a JAW user.

So this bring up the question: Why use the title attribute?
