Thread: How to include Alt tag to Image

Hi,
Have got one problem. Of course, I know how to include alt tag. The basic version is like that:
<img src="" alt="" style="" />
But what is happening when you use image as a background?! like that:

<div style="background-image:url(http://www.best-hotels-travel.com/uploads/3/8/3/2/3832861/9246242_orig.png);width:375px;height:106px;">

how to add alt to the background image ?????????
Thank you for help, in advance

Sorry, but alt tag is not applied on background image.

Exactly

Background Images don't need alt

Small explanation

Code:

I guess it's not possible and not necessary.

Alt tag is unnecessary for background image..

Background image doesn't need any alt tag. Y do u need alt tag for it??

Thats what i was exactly looking for...thanks guys

alt tag use for image uploading in HTML designing. Here are given code for image uploading.

<img src="image name" alt="Smiley face" height="42" width="42">

Background images usually dont show any certain thing so programmers assume they dont need any description (alt), but when some photo image does not show or user dont want to load it, the text description (alt) can be very handy.

I think its not possible to add alt tag for the background image and its not needed. Its better to specify the background image in the css.

eg:

body
{
background:url("http://www.best-hotels-travel.com/uploads/3/8/3/2/3832861/9246242_orig.png");
width:357px;
height:106px;
}
}

It is not necessary, ethics is that we do not include background images using other websites.

yes background image not support alt tag. you can be use alt tag with web content image.

I dont think like we can add atl tag for background image
