the alt attribute contains text, wich will be displayed if the image could not be loaded.

@Gianne: I tried it in a view browsers. If you write it like Sommath, you will get the alternative text e.g. in Opera. In Safari I don't get the alternativ text. Don't know what about Firefox or IE... Long story short: the code is correct, but it depends on the browser you use. I published a sample code, so you could test it if you want.
