Its simple, clicking on the Image inside of the div sends multiple values to multiple form input boxes HOWEVER the object.innerHTML command grabs the image uri in full and drops it any input box named "one". How can I make it grab the image alt text only instead of the entire image uri?
I need to change the "onclick="word(this);" to something like "onclick="word(this.?);" but the? is eluding me at 4 am.

I assume you mean image element?
To return the value of the alt attribute of the IMG element contained within the DIV (which you are passing to your function) you really need to traverse the DOM.
Assuming your DIV contains just one IMG, then your can modify your function:
function word(object){
// Get the value of the alt attribute of the first IMG element contained in 'object'
var alttext = object.getElementsByTagName('img')[0].getAttribute('alt');
document.forms.test.one.value = alttext;
document.forms.test.two.value = "SOME TEXT!";
}(Not tested)
Now I need to build an array on that. One text input box, multiple images. Tommorow night...
