Image Captions is a simple script that uses the alt attribute of your images to create a mouse-over captions for them. The captions do not change the layout of your site in any way and the installation is as simple as including 1 line of code in the header of the page. If you kept the alt attributes of your images in order you won’t have to change anything else. The script finds the right images and adds the captions automatically.You can see the example of the script in action on the image above. To get that result all I had to do was to add the following to my post:
<img src="mac_screen.jpg" class="centered"
alt="Image Captions Script on Mac Screen"/>The script will work on any page and does not rely on any WordPress functionality. The code has been tested in the following browsers: Firefox 2.x, Firefox 3.x, Safari 3.x, IE 6.x and IE 7.x. Read more…

I didn’t realize you wrote this script. I’ll install it sometime this week – it’s just that I can’t look at my computer anymore
