Re: CSS and .pic for background

I placed the background pic in the css file
I read that doing so will the pages will take less time to load

I also read that the every .pic or .jpg file needs an alt description

Is it possible to put in the .css file the background pic file with an
alt=""? what is the correct syntax?

The alt text is there to replicate the function of the image for those who

can't see it for whatever reason, As such it needs to be in the html.

"The ALT text is meant to be alternative text, primarily for use when the
image is not being displayed. The most common mistake (if used at all!) is
to provide a description of the image, without considering what job the
image was doing on the page, leading to results that can range from the
incongruous to the absurd. The ALT text is intended to be a suitable textual
alternative to the purpose of the image: sometimes that might turn out to be
a description of the image, but in practice that choice seems to be wrong
far more often than it's right."
