Answer : ALT text in Firefox

Use this formula in ALL links, it works on all browsers --

<AREA SHAPE=RECT COORDS="580,22,730,55" HREF="handmades.html" ALT="zu den handgefertigten Gitarren" title = ="zu den handgefertigten Gitarren" target="_blank"></AREA>

You can also add the yellow box with --

onmouseover="self.status='zu den handgefertigten Gitarren';return true"

and remove it with -- onmouseout="self.status='';return true"

Those 2 also go into the link code. That gets a mouseover prompt and the ALT title text in all browsers.
