Alt tagging background image?

Am I being really dense?

I tried the below quite hopefully.

<td height="50" background="logo.jpg" alt="image:logo"></td>

no luck

anybody know if it is possible?

I think your trying the impossible. I've checked search engines for this before.

Sorry!

Not quite sure it's possible Limbo, because the alt is a property for the <img> tag and not the <td> tag.

Quick tip:
style="background-image:url(/background.gif);

Is the correct W3c tag (The tag your using will not validate)

As I suspected :(

I will alt tag a transparent image over the banner, in the table cell above. I suppose it might confuse a few 'right clickers' who want to nick my painstakingly created banner images :)

Thanks

That alt tag isn't a tag. It is an attribute.
