I stumbled upon the application when I was faced with the daunting task of having to add missing title attributes to images found on a large number of web pages I had designed (because tooltips were not being displayed in IE8 and Firefox). Instead of painstakingly adding a title attribute to each image manually, I simply used Alt&Title to do it for me. It has saved me many hours of work. Give it a go. I hope you find it as useful as I have!

XHTML, which is a stricter version of regular HTML, requires that you include ALT tags for your images. Before you validate the XHTML code of a website you're creating, make sure that you have those in place, otherwise you'll get a lot of errors in the validation. That’s a great point actually.
