HTMLInputElement: alt property
The alt
property of the HTMLInputElement
interface defines the textual label for the button for users and user agents who cannot use the image. It reflects the <input>
element's alt
attribute.
The alt
property is valid for the image
type only. It should be a non-empty string giving the label that would be appropriate for an equivalent button if the image was unavailable.
Value
A string.
Examples
js
const inputElement = document.getElementById("imageButton");
console.log(inputElement.alt);
inputElement.alt = "A much better description";
