By tooltip, do you mean the title attribute? Here, this will do it.


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> 
<html> 
<head> 
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset:utf-8"> 
 <title>Dynamic Src Titles</title> 
 <script type="text/javascript"> 
 function createImageTooltips() 
 { 
 var imgList = document.getElementsByTagName('img'); 
 for( var i = 0; i < imgList.length; i++ ) 
 { 
  // See if there's src we can use for title 
  var src = imgList[i].getAttribute("src"); 
  if( src ) 
  { 
  // Use src text to modify title 
  imgList[i].setAttribute("title",src); 
  } 
 } 
 } 
 function attachBehaviors() 
 { 
 // Create image tooltips 
 createImageTooltips(); 
 } 
 window.onload = attachBehaviors; 
 </script> 
</head> 
<body> 
 <img src="foo.gif"> 
 <img src="xyz.gif"> 
 <img src="bar.gif"> 
</body> 
</html>

But of course! Always better to write for Firefox first, and THEN test it in IE. :-)
