Which is generally the best to use for an image link & SEO? The alt, the title, or both? Thanks
< a href="page.html">< img src="hat.gif" alt="My hat"></a>
or
< a href="page.html" title="My Hat">< img src="hat.gif"></a>
or both
< a href="page.html" title="My Hat">< img src="hat.gif" alt="My hat"></a>

Use alt to describe the image, use title to describe where the link is going

<a href="page.html" title="Section describing my favourite hat"><img src="hat.gif" alt="My hat"></a>

I'll take that as a "both". Some don't work in browsers other than IE, though. Thanks

Possibly, but not working and not displaying on mouseover are two different things.
