It would have been beneficial to add that there is a standard attribute title which can be used in an input element. W3 reference for the title attribute. "Values of the title attribute may be rendered by user agents in a variety of ways. For instance, visual browsers frequently display the title as a "tool tip" (a short message that appears when the pointing device pauses over an object). Audio user agents may speak the title information in a similar context. For example, setting the attribute on a link allows user agents (visual and non-visual) to tell users about the nature of the linked resource." (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#adef-title) On an input element this is the closest attribute for providing functionality similar to the alt attribute.
