Customize img alt tag ?

[Cheng]

Hi.

Can someone of you guys please tell me if it is possible to change the size of img alt tags in Dreamweaver?

If yes, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance,

Not sure if this will work in all browsers but....

img {
color:#0000FF;
font-size:36px;
}

<img src="where'smyimage?.jpg" alt="TEST">

.......thanks a lot for your reply.

I'll check it out later on and post back the results.

Thanks again,

.......I tried it out but it didn't work.

At least not in IE7..

The thing is that it should work in IE7 even though all web designers don't like this browser very much but it's still the most used one worldwide.

Another suggestion would be very much appreciated.

Thanks again.......

I don't think it's possible, I'm pretty sure it's coded in with the browser.

Besides, the alt tag doesn't even show up in Firefox, it's the title tag that is used instead. Unless you've seen a page where they've successfully done it.

Not exactly what I was looking for but this could be an option.

I'll check it out and see how it works.

I don't think it's possible to change the size of the alt tag, not unless there is a specific browser command

My solution works in opera for color, firefox and flock for color and size. I'm on a mac though might be different in pc land.

If you set font related CSS properties set for the img elements it works for Firefox and Flock based and in Opera also for me. Rather I think it is based on the JavaScript engine the browser support.

In IE the color of the alt text can be controlled but nothing else.
