What problem?

Netscape 7 (well, Mozilla) displays ALT when it's needed - images not
loading, or being switched off.

ALT is a *replacement* for images.  That it was ever displayed in a
tooltip by IE is more a Bad Thing[0] than behaviour that should be emulated.


[0] Because it's convinced so many "designers" that ALT should be used
    in place of TITLE
