alt attributes are content, not presentation.

CSS doesn't modify *any* HTML.

Try this.
img {font-style; italic;}
Then view the page without images.

Re: alt attribute with css
a)I found back the group in my notes after writing to a first one.
b)I dont argue. I know it is possible
c)I want to modify the text, not the alt itself.
d)img {font-style; italic;} or img {font-style: italic;} dont work.
It was something related to that kind of css.
IMG { content: attr(alt) }
Maybe the alt was modified like <img .... alt [anothercolor]=" " >
or ????

Well, you should have said it.

Well, using some quite strange definition of possible, maybe...

Why. That would be stupid, most times.

Depends on browser.

CSS3. Works on Opera 7. IE. Replaces image with alt text, so not
doing what you want

CSS is a _style_ language.
Alternative content is _content_.
Content has no place in a style language.

Is it not the purpose of css? Making the text blue, or else, making it
oblique, changing the font size etc.

I agree.
The language frontier seems to be the cause of the misunderstandin g here.

The issue may be caused by your use of language, which
could either be because french may be your native language,
or simply how you worded what you said.
"modify the text", to many people, means taking something
like "image of a flower" and changing it to "image of a duck".
"modify the appearance of the text" is what you are referring to,
such as changing "image of a flower" from a default of black
on white 10pt courier to blue on white 12pt italic Tahoma.
The former has nothing to do with CSS, while the latter
is what CSS is used for.

Well, you was told it twice, even if people missunderstood you:
img {font-style: oblique;color:b lue}
oblique is not usually supported, replace it with italic.
Works on Opera at least, maybe on some other browser too. Does not work
on browsers not supporting CSS, of course.
Are you perhaps using alt text to get tooltips in MSIE? If so, you should
use title attribute instead, and styling tooltips is not possible using
current CSS.

^^^^^^^^
The fact that CSS does no harm on browsers which do not support it, is
part of the original design brief for CSS. So, in that sense, the
fact that a (properly-designed) web site can still be browsed for its
content, even when CSS is disabled or unimplemented, can IMHO properly
be categorised as "working".
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that it "has no effect",
rather than that it "does not work".
best regards
