one of the questions raised by maciej (i think) was why the title attribute was not included as an option in the consensus document. I can think of a few reasons: 1. currently the spec specifically disallows the rendering of the title content in the same way as alt content, so in the case of images being disabled it could not be rendered as text content as the alt is. "User agents must not present the contents of the alt<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/embedded-content-0.html#attr-img-alt>attribute in the same way as content of the title <http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/dom.html#the-title-attribute> attribute" http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/embedded-content-0.html 2. no user agents that i know of display title attribute text in a device independent way, regardless of whether images are enabled or disabled or not supported. regards stevef -- with regards Steve Faulkner Technical Director - TPG Europe Director - Web Accessibility Tools Consortium www.paciellogroup.com | www.wat-c.org Web Accessibility Toolbar - http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/wat-ie-about.htmlReceived on Monday, 17 August 2009 11:16:20 GMT
