Things this script does.

  • Adds ALT text to images without ALT text - customizable display with automatic numeration. Filename of the image shows up as tooltip on mouseover.
  • Replaces existing ALT text (if desired) - the original ALT text shows up as tooltip on mouseover.
  • Shows total number of images on the page (if desired) in an alert box.
Useful for:
  • Placeholder for broken images which lack ALT text.
  • Copy/Pasting document into another program (broken image pastes correctly).
  • For Dialup-modem users who browse with images turned off (for faster loading). This script is best used with an extension like ImgLikeOpera.
