VBA - How to get elements by src or alt at internet explorer

I'm having a little trouble with my code. Follow the code below

<a href="LINK HERE"><img src="IMAGE LINK HERE" border="0" alt="Page suivante" align="right"></a>

For reasons of confidentiality, I canno't show the link. I would like to know, how can I click on this link using "alt".

Thanks

I'm not too familiar with CSS selectors (so am sure someone else can/will give you a better answer), but this seems to work for me if I add a reference for Microsoft HTML Object Library:

Option Explicit

Private Sub SomeCssSelection()

    Dim html As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
    Set html = New MSHTML.HTMLDocument
    html.body.innerHTML = "<a href=""LINK HERE""><img src=""IMAGE LINK HERE"" border=""0"" alt=""Page suivante"" align=""right""></a>"

    Dim targetElement As MSHTML.HTMLImg
    Set targetElement = html.querySelector("img[alt=""Page suivante""]")

    Debug.Assert Not (targetElement Is Nothing)

End Sub

As pointed out by QHarr, single quotes can be used to make the code easier to read:

Set targetElement = html.querySelector("[alt='Page suivante']")
