image_tag with popup for alt attribute (See related posts)

Firefox doesn't display a popup for the alt attribute for images. While this is according to spec, it's slightly annoying to put the same text in both the alt and the title. Put the following in your ApplicationHelper to copy the alt to the title for every image. Please don't tell me how wrong this is. I don't care.

module ApplicationHelper
  def image_tag(location, options)
    options[:title] ||= options[:alt]
    super(location, options)
  end
end

You might have it check to see if options[:title] is blank, so that it doesn't overwrite it if the user has specified it already.
