Provide alternate text for all images and
image maps in your document. The syntax for including alternate text
is shown in this example:
<img src="image.gif" alt="This

The alternate text is displayed when the mouse pointer moves over
the image. Web authors have to provide a full description of
the image, such as "a group of students reading in the student
center."
