getting alt attribute value from an img

How would I retrieve the alt text value from an image? I've tried a few things but have come up empty so far.
Here is the HTML code of the object I'm working with:
<img id="t1" border="0" height="18" alt="Client" src="/images/tabs/tabd_Client_0033cc_ffffff.png">
I'm trying to extract the "Client" text from the alt attribute. I tried modifying narayan's solution in this thread (http://sahi.co.in/forums/discussion/comment/16595) with the following:
Which results in "Error: The parameter passed to _getText was not found on the browser"
I've also tried the simpler:
But this returns an empty string.
Any other ideas? I'd prefer to reference the object by the ID since I know that's unique.

Hi,
Please try using:_image("t1").getAttribute("alt");
Please let me know if it works for you.
