Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declaration specifying the document type -->
<html><!-- Opening tag for the root element of the HTML document -->
<head><!-- Opening tag for the document's header section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Metadata tag specifying the character encoding of the document -->
<title>How to specify an alternate text for images</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
</head><!-- Closing tag for the document's header section -->
<body><!-- Opening tag for the document's body section -->
<form method="POST" action="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/input-alt-answer-demo.php"><!-- Form element defining a form with method and action attributes -->
<!-- Form inputs -->
  Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="30"><!-- Text input field for entering name -->
<input type="image" src="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/input-altimages.jpg" alt="Submit" width="50" height="50"><!-- Image input field acting as a submit button, with alternate text "Submit" -->
</form>
</body><!-- Closing tag for the document's body section -->
</html><!-- Closing tag for the root element of the HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML code demonstrates how to create a form with an image input field acting as a submit button.
The form is configured with the method attribute set to "POST" and the action attribute set to the URL where the form data will be submitted.
Within the form, there is a text input field for entering name.
Additionally, there is an image input field (<input type="image">) that serves as a submit button, with its source specified by the src attribute and alternate text specified by the alt attribute.
