Um... what are you using to creat your HTML pages? Whatever tool you use to create the <img> tags that place the images on the page should have an option for creating the alt attribute within the image tag...

First place to look: the manual for your page building software!

I use Dreamweaver and you can enter ALT tag info from the main Property inspector into a box called "Alt". It's at the far right of the property inspector under "Align". You just type in the information you would like to appear as the ALT tag and that's it - Dreamweaver adds the HTML mark up.

Alternatively, if you know HTML then you need something like: <img src="hurley.gif" width="100" height="150" ALT="Elizabeth Hurley at Cannes">

Hope that helps

You should also consider the longdesc [w3.org] attribute.

It is used to supplement the short description of an image given in the alt tag.
