quote:
The purpose of the ALT tag is to provide a description of the image for text-based browsers.
Not only for text-based browsers, but also for those people who disable graphics in their GUI-based browsers, and also for people with visual impairments.
Check out the following website:

You could consider using the longdesc attribute, which would allow you to provide a formatted description of the images in your web pages. -- Earthlink/Direcway SRS - DW4000 | ver. 4.2.1.10 | Proxy/Port 83 | G4R | 970 | Dell Dimension 4550 - WinXP Pro SP1 - 256MB Ram |ZA+ 4.5 | AVG 7.0 - Resident | BitDefender 7.1 Free - On-Demand |TR | Ad-Aware | SpyBot S&D | MailWasher Pro |
