When I am testing my page in IE7, all the image have a tooltip corresponding to the text of the alt in the image tag..
<img src="Myimage.jpg" alt="No pic" />
When I hover my mouse on the displayed pic in IE7, I get a tooltip "No pic" corresponding to the text of the alt .How do I fix this ?
IE6/7 treats the alt attribute as though it was a title attribute - but only if there's no actual title attribute set.
You can workaround it with a blank title:
<img src="Myimage.jpg" alt="No pic" title="" />
You can try adding an empty title tag
<img src="image.jpg" alt="nopic" title="" />
The answer has been posted already (empty title tag).
However, (in reference to one of the answers) alts are supposed to describe the image for 508 compliance reasons and if the image doesn't show up, so you should change the alt text to describe your picture.
I would have made a comment on the original post but SO doesn't allow me to yet.
The actual question here is why are you using alt the way you are? If your image is simply decorative, you should have an empty alt attribute. look at the W3CS definition of the alt attribute.

On this occasion is suspect youd actually want:
<img src="Myimage.jpg" alt="" />

Repair: Add text to the a element or the title attribute of the a element or, if an image is used within the anchor, add Alt text to the image.
what i need to do ?
if you want to put an Alt text to an img you can do this
<img src="path" alt="your text">
"Add text to the a element or the title attribute of the a element"
Here, means to add text inside <a> tag and to add title attribute to it. Titles are given to elements when you want to describe something. When you add title attribute, if you hover over the element, a pop up will be shown.
<a href="https://Google.com" title="If you click on this, it will direct you to google">
Google[hover]
</a>
"if an image is used within the anchor, add Alt text to the image."
Well, this means you must use a <img/> tag inside a <a> tag. And to add alt attribute to the image. Alt is good for SEO and highly recommended. When the image, for some reason, doesn't show, here alt comes for help and describes your image.
<img src="URL" alt="The image is not loaded, because I didn't add a source" />
<img src="https://picsum.photos/200/300" alt="You won't see alt now, because image will be shown" />
P.S. Here is a website that provides random image: Lorem Picsum.
What is meant by Images must have alternate text: Element has no title attribute
I had created img tag but developer tools gives me a warning but i can't understand what that means.

<img src="./img/twitter.png">
This has to do with screen readers. Screen readers have no way of translating an image into words that gets read to the user, even if the image only consists of text. As a result, it's necessary for images to have short, descriptive alt text so screen reader users clearly understand the image's contents and purpose.
There are 3 ways to give an image alternate text:
Using an alt attribute i.e. <img alt="drawing of a cat" src="...">
Using an aria-label i.e. <img aria-label="drawing of a cat" src="...">
Using an aria-labelledby attribute i.e. <img arialabelledby="someID" src="..."
The alt attribute is needed when the picture is not available or the user turned all pictures off in his/her browser. It's necessary to include this attribute to your img elements.
<img src=".." alt="Alternative text" width="200" height="100" aria-label="For screen readers" />
Use alternate txt for img tag like this : <img src="./img/twitter.png" alt="tweetImg"> .
As it is important, if there is slow connection the alternate txt will be visible or due to some error your image don't show up .
The HTMLImageElement property alt provides fallback (alternate) text to display when the image specified by the element is not loaded.
This may be the case because of an error, because the user has disabled the loading of images, or because the image hasn't finished loading yet.

I've tried both the longdesc and the alt tag to make it so a description of the image appears when hovering it but none of them seem to work.
Any idea what to do since none of the tags seem to work.
My code currently looks like this:
<div align="center">
<img src="placeholder.jpg" width="900" height="300" alt="Placeholder">
</div>
The alt attribute stands for alternative text when the image doesn't load for any reason. The correct attribute you are looking for is title.
<img src="placeholder.jpg" width="900" height="300" title="Placeholder">
I have used the ALT tags for all my images with this format:
<a alt="IMAGE ALT TEXT" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MEHRDQvoG-c/Ux0mL1mlJII/AAAAAAAAGg8/S9h3KjhJ6YQ/s1600/jquery-lightbox-with-dark-background.png" imageanchor="1"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MEHRDQvoG-c/Ux0mL1mlJII/AAAAAAAAGg8/S9h3KjhJ6YQ/s320/jquery-lightbox-with-dark-background.png" style="height:100%; width:100%;" /></a>
But I was surprised when the image checker tools sensed their alt tags as "missing". I supposed I had to insert the "alt" tag after the "img src" tag like that:
<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MEHRDQvoG-c/Ux0mL1mlJII/AAAAAAAAGg8/S9h3KjhJ6YQ/s320/jquery-lightbox-with-dark-background.png" alt="IMAGE ALT TEXT" style="height:100%; width:100%;" />
Tell me please will this style correct?
alt is a property of IMG tag and not of A tag. It stands for alternative text to be shown or read by screen readers. So the second example you provided is the right one.
The alt attribute must be on the element and not on the hyperlink element.
You may be confusing the "alt" tag and the "title" tag.
The "alt" tag is used with images:
<img src="someImage.jpg" alt="image">
The title tag can be used with BOTH images and links
<img src="someImage.jpg alt="image" title="Some Image">
<a href="someLink.com" title="This is some link">
There wouldn't be any need for an "alt" tag on a traditional link, because even if the link was bad, there would still be text wrapped in the anchor indicating what it is:
Link to some link
With the image, the "alt" property value only displays when the image, for whatever reason, isn't available.
the alt should be only used in <applet>, <area>, <img>, <input>
alt - <applet>, <area>, <img>, <input> - Alternative text in case an
image can't be displayed.

here is a snippet of img:
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/100/100" alt="image">
I am just learning HTML. I have a confusion on using image and alt in learning HTML. When I use alt it doesn't go to the alt image.
<img src="w3schools.jpg" alt="W3Schools.com" width="104" height="142">
When I try to use my own example, or image, it doesn't work.
The alt attribute specifies an alternate text for the image, if it cannot be displayed.
The alt attribute is required in HTML4 and the page will not be valid without it.
Checkout at this link an example: example.
<img src="http://www.1341234123412312/ic_mountain.jpg" alt="Image not found" style="width:200px;height:128px"/>
alt isn't a tag, it's an attribute. It doesn't specify an alternate image, it defines the alternate text of an image if it cannot be displayed. In most cases it's used as hover-over text.
Like henriquedsg89 mentioned the alt ATTRIBUTE is used to display alternate text. An example of it's purpose would be if a blind person can't see the photos. Instead the browser will read the alt attribute out loud.
alt is attribute, and used to display the image description. if image is not displayed because of some case.
<img src="/img.jpg" alt="Image not found">
