Alternative Text

You can add an alternative text to an image using the alt setting shown in the example below:



This is a text that goes with the image
<img src="sample_image.wmf" alt="This is a text that goes with the image">

You should always add alternative texts to your images, so the users can get an idea of what the image is about before it is loaded.


This becomes particulary important if the image is a link.


Few things are as annoying as knowing that you want to leave the current page - and at the same time being forced to wait for an image to load before being able to do so.


It is extremely tempting to use the browser's straightforward options to leave the entire site instead.
