After jQuery 1.6 prop() is the correct one to use:

Problem
Simple question. I am trying to change all the image alt tags on my site using jQuery. The issue I'm having is that all my images have existing alt tags that I want to add to. Currently my code won't do anything, here is what I have placed just before closing the ``` <script> $("img").attr({ alt: "This is some alt text" }); </script> ``` Can someone help me figure out what is wrong here. Thanks.
