Re: 8.8.1 Bug: ALT attribute not available in Menu for INPUT

Regarding my Bug post.

It would be a correct behaviour in Amaya 8.8.1 that the ALT attribute is not available in the Menu, when the form control type TEXT is focused.

I had the assumption that TITLE was not good enough to help people use forms with non-visual browsers, thus using ALT.

On second thought, I would say that specifying ALT on the form control type TEXT has no purpose.

Sorry,
Thomas Jedenfelt
