bootstrap 3 - crop image to fit width & height

Question

I'm currently using a span, that I'm filling with a background to make sure that the images are exactly the same size in all browsers. While I have no complaints about this, I'm missing the opportunity to use the alt tag and the potential SEO advantage that it might carry.

Is there a way to do crop an image using html+css only (no js) using the img tag?

Answer 1

If the SEO for the image is very important perhaps you can include the image with relevant alt, but with style="display: none". Crawlers may be smart enough to rule this out though..!
