Alt Tags on slide shows

Question

Im trying to attach some Alt Tags to a sliding image but not sure how to go about it.
<script type="text/javascript">
var fadeimages=new Array()
//SET IMAGE PATHS. Extend or contract array as needed
fadeimages[0]=["images/template1web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[1]=["images/template2web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[2]=["images/template3web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[3]=["images/template4web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[4]=["images/template5web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[5]=["images/template6web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[6]=["images/Template7web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[7]=["images/Template8web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[8]=["images/Template9web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[9]=["images/template10web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[10]=["images/template11web.jpg", "", ""]
fadeimages[11]=["images/template12web.jpg", "", ""]
var fadebgcolor="white"
              </script>
                      <script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 347, 282, 0, 3000, 0)
                                  </script>
Can anyone help
Many thanks
James
