I haven't figured out how to accomplish this, but before an image loads there is alt text that appears in it's place. Every time the text (for me) is blue. Can I change this? If so, where? I've tried changing the general color of all text on the page in the body tag, and adding a color tag to the <IMG> tag, but neither worked.

Can it be changed?[/LIST]

Nope.

What browser is this in? Theoretically at least, it should inherit the text color of the stuff around it (this assumes you are using CSS to do your styling, though).

I don't know whether or not you're trying to do CSS, but you might want to try it in this case. Add the following up in the headers:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre><font size=1 face=courier>
&lt;style type=<font color = red>"text/css"</font>&gt;
&lt;!--
img {
color: text-color-goes-here;
}
--&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
</font>[/code]That should -at least theoretically- style your ALT text in most browsers. It might not style it in some of them, but if it can't then nothing will.

Works in IE5 Mac and Mozilla .92 at least. If you're worried about older browsers and don't mind marking in HTML 3.2 doctype, you could also wrap the img tag with a font tag specificying the color of the text.

Another style sheet solution that definately works is using a different link class for the image anchor. So in your CSS:

.imagelinks { color: ff0000;}

Then your link:

&lt;a href="funurl.html" class="imagelinks"&gt;&lt;img src="spiffy.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Yep -- that did it! Thanks Jadey. I also tried putting the class link in the &lt;IMG&gt; tag instead of &lt;A&gt; and it worked just the same. Looks SOOOOO much better now. I also changed the typeface too...
