alt attribute

Question

what does it mean "In case the image cannot be displayed, the alt attribute specifies an alternate text that describes the image in words. The alt attribute is required."
I tried to delete a letter from the src and I wrote the word "tree" between the quotation marks of *alt* but nothing appear.
So, where am I wrong on this?

Alessandra C Suppose that you have an image at mysite.com/image.jpg then in HTML:

<img src="http://mysite.com/logo.jpg" alt="MySite Logo" />

If somethin prevent your browser from load image file, then alt text (if any) will be showed INSIDE img element BUT if img elemenr is small, you cannot see the alt text. If you dont want image, dont use img element
