Copying alt text

[ffutures]

Is there any easy way to copy the "alt" text of an image on a web page, other than looking at the source code?


later - found a way - click on image properties, then highlight the alt text and control-c to copy.

Use a text only browser ( like lynx ) ?

But I'd have thought that the 'Inspect Element' feature that many modern browsers have which takes you right to the element in the DOM and copying from their would be the easiest way - but that probably counts as 'looking at the source code'.

Unless you use text only browser frequently already.

BTW, Do you mean the alt text, or the title text ?- It is the title attribute which is used to create a tooltip.

Possibly the title text - I was thinking in particular of the text that comes up when you mouse over e.g. XKCD strips.

It really was the alternative text - found a way to do it anyway, click on image properties, then highlight the alt text and control-c to copy.
