ALT tag is doing Dramas in IMG Element

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,Any idea why alt="..." tag is not working anymore? Maybe HTML 5 does not need alt tag anymore? Should I consider using title="..." tag?

By the way:1. alt and title should be referred as Element or Tag? - (I think tag)2. img should be referred as Element or Tag? - (I think element)

It's an attribute. The alt attribute still works, it is still the text to show if the image isn't displayed. That's always been the purpose of it. The title attribute is the text to show when you hover over the image. IE used to show the alt text when you hover, which wasn't the purpose of it.

Hi justsomeguy, Oh! Okie... Okie... Thanks a lot for the clarification. I understood now. So, should I use alt and title attributes in all the img tags? By the way img is referred as tag or element?

"<img>" is a tag that represents an img element in the DOM. The alt attribute is required, the title is optional.

Hey justsomeguy,Why did you move this POST (Discussion) from "HTML/XHTML" segment to General" segment? Any specific reason? Because, I think I made this POST in "HTML/XHTML" segment...

it wasn't moved. If it had been, you would still see it in the HTML/XHTML forum with an arrow next to the title. Although, it probably could be moved to the HTML/XHTML forum.

Hi thescientist,Thanks for your clarification. By the way I am just wondering if I did this post in General" segment or "HTML/XHTML" segment. I think this post should be in "HTML/XHTML" segment. So, how do I move it to "HTML/XHTML" segment? I have never moved My Threads (postings) from One Segment to Another Segment. I have no idea how to do it. I thought perhaps justsomeguy would have moved it from "HTML/XHTML" segment to General" segment. Maybe I might be wrong... So, how do I move it now?

Well first he wanted to move it, so the moderators went to the effort of moving it, and now he wants it closed. I guess that's what the OP's title means "Drama."
