CSS and ALT attribute

[GUJUm0deL]

Hey all, I use CSS to display the banners on my work site, and now i'd like to use the ALT attribute in the <style>, how can I do that with CSS?

This is my code:

<div id="PageBannerContainer">
	<div id="PageBanner" style="height: 125px; background: transparent url(/images/page_banner_home_01.jpg) no-repeat; text-indent: 0px;">BLAH BLAH</div>	
</div>

what do you mean "alt attribute in the style"?

The <img> tag has the ALT attribute, like: <img src="a.jpg" alt="Some ALT name here">, i'd like to use the same ALT attribute when I load my images using CSS. Is that doable?

doesn't make any sense. alt is alternative text for people who can't display images on their screen. CSS styles stuff.

you can't put an ALT definition in your CSS.

i did a quick test to see if the CSS would affect the alt that displays, and it only sort-of does. i was able to change the font family and the color, even though i entered css to change the text-transform, font-size, font-weight.

Excellent question. Essentially you can't. Css doesn't allow for an 'alt' tag combined with background images. See discussion at Alt text for CSS background images
