hello,

can I set an alt text for a div? Which shows, when nothing is loaded
into it? like an img alt?

No. That wouldn't make any sense. What are you actually trying to do?

You say an empty div-tag? What should be the need of this? If you have
the div to write data dynamically into with any script, why don't you
use the same script to write a text in it when nothing else is loaded?
