The alt attribute is meant to be used as an alternative text if the image is not available, not as a mouse-over text. To show a mouse-over text on images or image-maps, use the title attribute, like this:
it would be fine to disable the auto generating title.
someone you want your own titles in a data field (images with alt tag …)

I'd like to echo this request, in a very simple way. First of all, I don't need tooltips that just replicate the same textual contents of the cells (kinda stupid); and secondly, if I use formatter: checkbox, for example, the title for such cells become “undefined”, which is not very nice 🙂
using setCell() method is not logical, because it is useful for updating a particular cell on demand; what I'd want is simply disabling title attribute generation globally or for the particular grid.
Earlier in this thread, Tony mentions a bug with setting title. Not sure what that is (was?), but here is something to look at. Setting title works great in loadComplete, but values set there get clobbered upon leaving a cell when using cell editing. Seems like editing a cell should not result in the title value being reset to the display of the default.
