Hi, Charles and all, >> the title attribute is not keyboard-accessible (IMO this would >> be a failure of the SC 2.1.1 and SC 3.3.2). > > That's true. But should be filed as a bug, or fixed.

This can be done for focusable elements, but not for a generic-non-focusable element. Of course, it can be argued that all input elements are focusable, but there are other cases where titles are used to convey information that is not reached by sighted users (for example, titles used to expand abbreviations/acronyms). > Although then you need to ensure that people will install it, which is a > different question... And that is a big issue! Anyway, maybe in the future all browsers will support keyboard accessible titles. Regards, Ramón.
