As you may know, most Web
Builders use the ALT attribute with images to supply a string
of text in case a browser has no graphics capability, or if graphics
are turned off. For example, look at the image below and notice
how text appears as you hover your mouse over the image.
Now, if your browser wasn't able to display graphics (yes, there
are some Browsers that are text based), the ALT attribute would
allow you to see a description of what the image was for. See the
example below.

![]() This is how the ALT attribute works!

In case you didn't know, you can also do something similar with
Text Links using the Title attribute - it's called a Tool
tip. To see it work, hover your mouse pointer over the text
link.

Here is the HTML that made it happen.

is how the Title attribute works!">Web

As you can see, it's not difficult to implement this at all, go
ahead and try it. Also remember that as a rule of thumb, all
images should use the ALT attribute - this is not the case with
Text links.
