Format ALT

Hi,

Using CSS, is it possible to change the color of the text contained inside the ALT section of an image?

<img alt="ALT Message" src="someimage.jpg" />

I don't think so.

No you can't - this is controlled by the browser/OS.

You would need to make a custom one via JavaScript.

Can the TITLE attribute be formatted using CSS?

The ALT tag should not be used for popup text if that's what you're after. the Title attribute is the correct attribute to use for a tooltip.

As for the alt tag, it is used when a referenced image is missing (in firefox anyway) or when the user's browser does not handle images.

You can simulate the "title" attribute and use some Javascript with CSS to create a styled pop-up.

So it's possible to do both with and without javascript.

Yeah do a google search for 'Javascript tooltip'
