Yes? Again, it's doing what you told it to do. It is *CHANGING* the title of the image. Which is, indeed, the title that shows up when you mouse over the image.

What do you mean by "want [the title] to pop up"?

You could just do

Code:

<img src="Picture 322.png" onclick="alert('New Title');" />

but alert is very much obsolete nowadays. Some browsers allow the user to block alerts, so they are *NOT* a good way of giving messages.

So what kind of (other) pop up are you interested in?
