Images & Alt tags

Hi Folks,

Is there a way, I can hide images through CSS and then display the alt
tags?

I want to create a Javascript free CSS/Cookies approach to doing text-
only. I've set the style for images display:none (I know it still
requires CSS) and then don't display my main stylesheet. But is there
a way to display the alt tags if a certain attribute is applied to
images?

Any help would be great.

Many thanks

A

Why do you want to do this?

you mean the alt attribute.
I don't understand what you mean by "doing text-only", or why you are
including images in your page if you want text, and not images, to
appear. Can you clarify what you're looking for?

built-in UI to do that. Correct, it can't be done without Javascript; it
could be done in CSS with hover, but only for as long as the hover
continued.
