h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

zilch - nothing at all I'm afraid, why should there be?

That's interesting, Deke, because it may indicate a problem with that Eris picture.

Ah, I see what your problem was, Deke. It's not a problem with the pictures themselves but with the way I'd laid them out, so if you've a narrow screen, the Uranus picture would overlap the Eris picture. I've changed the layout now to overcome this.

This is not a serious quiz. The answer is blindingly obvious a disgrace to the Astronomy pages here on h2g2.

Lanzababy: you don't see a "pic by (the photographer)" when you scroll over the photos?

Lazababy has already said that mouse-overs don't work on her browser. They don't work on my Mozilla Firefox either, so I've taken to using IE.

I can right click and 'inspect element' which will give information about the image.

I found that IE kept freezing this laptop, so I changed, first to firefox, which allowed in some horrible malware and then to Chrome.

I never get mouse-over text on h2g2. I have to right click to image properties to see the alt text. I use firefox in ubuntu. I get mouse-over text on other websites just fine.

I recall when I was creating those Hall of Fame photo pages that some people couldn't read the photographer, and Traveller told me a way to adjust the coding so everyone could read it

I had no idea that they were still unreadable to some.

Credits appear when I mouse-over in IE, zilch in Chrome.

Hm . . . in your collection Jupiter and Venus look remarkably similar . . . is one misattributed?

Jupiter would have looked more recognisable with a red spot

Oh dear!

The "Alt" tag on the image is not actually intended as mouse-over text. It is intended as text which is displayed when for some reason the picture is unavailable. This could be because the user has chosen not to display pictures because of the time it takes to download them, or for security reasons or because they are blind.

Microsoft decided to add a feature that the browser would display alt text when you hover over the picture, but that is not the purpose of the tag.

The spidery scrawl on "Eris" has gone now

Great! I don't think the picture is up to much, but God probably didn't bother producing a thing of beauty when he created Eris. He just cobbled together a pseudo-planet, as he didn't think anybody would be looking at it.

I'm waiting for an as yet undiscovered dwarf planet to be named "Rupert".

Somewhere in the Great Bear?
