`alt` is not a tag, it's an attribute.
Also, although some browsers show an `<img>`'s alt attribute as a
tooltip, this is nonstandard. The `title` attribute is what should be
used for a tooltip, and it works on all elements.
In short,
<?php e($form->text('contact_name', array('title' => 'Contact Name',
'value' => '',
'style' => 'width: 80%')));
?>
This will make "Contact Name" appear in the tooltip when the text box
is hovered.
