    I'd like to see title tag substituted for the alt tag used when an image is inserted.
    Opera does not recognize alt titles!
    Also, many times when I use the 'break tag from Quick Clips Sidebar, the cursor wildly goes somewhere else instead of going right beside the tag I just inserted! This is so frustrating because many time I want to add another
    or two next to it...
    Thanks for your consideration

    If you'd like to include the title attribute as well as the alt attribute, that can be done with minimum tweaking to the HTML and XHTML quick clips extension. Since a few people have requested this, I might update it myself and make it available for download here.

    I should point out that the alt attribute is required in both the HTML and XHTML standards, so it can't be replaced or omitted if you want your page to validate properly. It's used as descriptive text for screen readers or when there are image display issues. Opera does, indeed, understand it too.

    As for the weird jumping cursor, this is a documented bug and can be fixed by turning off word wrap for now.

    Hope this helps!
