If I wanted to style ALT text

[Eric]

In vB3....

vB uses the title attribute on the <td>

for eg:

	<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_316" title="Hello, 

I'm very happy finding this great script. As I use Polish and want to translate site to Polish (but language doesn't actually matter) - I'd...">
		<a rel="vB::AJAX"></a>
		<div>
			<a href="showthread.php?t=316" id="thread_title_316">translating DNP</a>
		</div>
		<div class="smallfont">
				<span style="cursor:pointer" onclick="window.open('member.php?u=401', '_self')">asceta</span>
		</div>
	</td>

The actual template is threadbit

And in that template, you're looking for:

<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

title="$thread[preview]" does the actual "alt" text.
