Styling image alt text

Making alt text bigger in IE

[Adam5000]

For the images on my site, I'm using the following general code.

<img src="image1.png" alt="Image 1">

And I'm styling the alt text with

img
{
font-size: 20pt;
}

The styling works with Firefox, but not with IE.

Is there a way to increase the size of the alt text on IE?

The image should inherit the body or html styling.

Have you tried using !important in your img css?

Show me an !important and I'll show you a styling conflict.

The <img> tags are presumably located inside something else. So look for css that says
.blahblah img
or even
.blahblah *

Is there an Element Inspector type plug-in/add-on/extension for MSIE? Obviously not much point checking in a different browser, since they'll probably only show the rules they themselves chose to apply. But try to find where the point-size is coming from.

There's probably a way to do it with coding, but I think the best way is to make sure I don't have any broken img links.

What version of IE are we talking about? They aren't all the same.
