<p>
The alt attribute is used to define an "alternate text" for an image. The value of
the alt attribute is an author-defined text:
</p>
<table width="100%" class="ex" cellspacing="0" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td>
      <pre>&lt;img src=&quot;boat.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Big Boat&quot;&gt;</pre>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<p>The &quot;alt&quot; attribute tells the reader what he or she is missing on a
page if the browser can't load images. The browser will then display the
alternate text instead of the image. It is a good practice to include the
&quot;alt&quot; attribute for each image on a page, to improve the display and usefulness of your document for people who
have text-only browsers.

<h2>Basic Notes - Useful Tips</h2>
<p>If an HTML file contains ten images - eleven files are required to display the page
right. Loading images take time, so my best advice is: Use images carefully.
