Hello,

Does anyone know how I would add an alt tag to this CSS style which loads up a picture?

CODE

.logo{
     height:144px;
     background: url(http://www.mywebsite.com/images/logo.png) #d21034 no-repeat 0px 0px;
}

Thanks!

Matt

Don't think it's possible (but my betters will confirm this). Alt attribute pertains to HTML <img> tag, and some other tags, but not relevant to CSS.

I also think it is not a CSS function.

Its not a tag its an attribute. Alt attributes are content and not presentation, since CSS controls presentation and not content it's not possible and shouldn't be used to put alt attributes.

The three posters before me are right, and there's at least one other thing to note about your example: .logo is a class, and apparently it's not a class for an image, since it's using an image for its background. Background images don't have alt attributes.
