The HTML standard does not require a browser to show the alt text unless the image cannot be rendered:User agents must render alternate text when they cannot support images, they cannot support a certain image type or when they are configured not to display images.

Are you saying that if I had a screen reader (for people unable to see the screen, which is why the alt text is added to the image in the first place) that the text would be read by the screen reader, even though it doesn't appear when I mouse over the text? -- Laura Stewart
