The whole purpose is to have something there if all else fails in the display. Thus, if the website visitor has images disabled, the alt text will still display. If the website visitor has images AND css disabled, the alt text will still display. If the website visitor has images AND css AND javascript disabled, the alt text will still display. This is a very important issue, for accessibility, and for usability, by those web page visitors, who are disabled, or unsighted, and must use screen readers. For an insight into these sorts of issues, you may read WAI Resources on Introducing Web Accessibility

Right raven1083...

The ALT attribute is designed to be an alternative text description for images. ALT text displays before the image is loaded (if it's loaded at all) in the major browsers and instead of the image in text-based browsers like Lynx. ALT is a required element for images and can only be used for image tags because its specific purpose is to describe images.

...as you might remember, some folks DO post IMAGES in CSS! These, too, need some sort of alternative text handling. When an IMAGE background is used as a banner link, many forget to place an alternative text (in that case "title" for the <a>) to carry the weight when the image is not displayed...
