alt 属性可设置或返回当浏览器无法显示某个区域时所显示的替换文本。
areaObject.alt=alternate_text
下面的例子可返回图像映射中 "Venus" 区域的替换文本:
<html> <body> <img src="planets.gif" width="145" height="126" usemap="#planetmap" /> <map name="planetmap"> <area id="venus" shape="circle" coords="124,58,8" alt="The planet Venus" href="venus.htm" /> </map> <p>Alternate text for "Venus" is: <script type="text/javascript"> x=document.getElementById('venus'); document.write(x.alt); </script> </p> </body> </html>
