Perform a Google search on tooltip. From the first result (Wikipedia), "The tooltip is a common graphical user interface element. It is used in conjunction with a cursor, usually a mouse pointer. The user hovers the cursor over an item, without clicking it, and a small box appears with supplementary information regarding the item being hovered over."

Tooltip is a more general concept than what you're describing.

My comment was correct as written. You will not see alt text displayed in tooltips using recent versions of Firefox, Opera, Mozilla, Safari, Netscape, Konqueror, or Camino. Each one of these browsers will display the contents of the title attribute in a tooltip however. This link will be helpful: Why doesn’t Mozilla display my alt tooltips?.
Another good resource: The Alt and Title Attributes.

Maybe whoever maintains those documentations (or FAQ) on Mozilla.com should go open up a proper web page (with FireFox of course) and mouse over an image

If you use accessibility features according to specification, your content will be available to a wider range of visitors and web access devices. That makes good business sense, doesn't it?
