Introduction
The alternative name, is what shows up in place of the picture, if the picture fails to load, may that be because of
connections or browser settings. The alternative name is just a brief summary of what the picture is, so if the
picture does fail to load, the visitor can still tell what it is suppose to be.
Alternative Name
This tag will allow you to add the alternative name to your pictures. The tag for the alternative name looks
like ALT="xxxx". This adds onto the picture tag, so the end result looks like
<IMG SRC="url" ALT="xxxx">
The xxxx, is replaced with the text you want the Alternative Name to be. You can choose whatever you want for this, although
it should describe the picture. Below is an example, with the Alternative Name being "My Picture". We have purposely linked the
picture to a bad address, so only the Alternative Name will show.
