Answer 1

You have two ways : you can use either alt property

image.alt = "Your text here"

or setAttribute method

image.setAttribute("alt","Your text here");

"image.setAttribute("alt","Your text here");" worked perfectly for what I needed. thanks! – Cristoforo

Answer 2

Above mentioned methods would not work when u create buttons or any other element in dom javascript, and for this use the below mentioned method

control.setAttribute("title","your tooltip value")
