Stuff you see when the image fails to load.

That is how you determine what will be shown if the picture can't be loaded for some reason (slow connection, mistake in name or extension...). For instance, if you write <img src="Zoka&Ela.jpg" alt "two cats"/>, the text "two cats" will appear if the picture of Zoka and Ela is unavailable.

@jpqz, as I'm a beginner I don't understand if I remove " alt" tag from the first image " code line" why there isdifference in both the output <html> <head> <title>first page</title> </head> <body> <img src="http://www.sololearn.com/images/tree.jpg" height="150px" width="150px" alt="" /> <br /> <img src="http://www.sololearn.com/images/tree.jpg" height="50%" width="50%" alt="" /> </body> </html>
