http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7362 --- Comment #11 from steve faulkner <faulkner.steve@gmail.com> 2009-09-20 11:52:42 --- (In reply to comment #9) > I agree that today people shouldn't do this, because today most browsers have > an accessibility bug in that they don't expose title="" attributes to users who > do not have pointing devices. > However, HTML5 requires that the title="" attribute be exposed just like it > requires everything else to be exposed, and it makes sense, therefore, to rely > on the title="" attribute for giving the title of the image. > Removing the recommendation that the title="" attribute be used in this way > would make as much sense as removing _any_ new features in the spec on the > grounds that they're not implemented yet. Obviously these features don't work > yet, they're new. The spec is not even in "last call" yet. We can't base > authoring advice on legacy browsers when writing a spec for future browsers, we > have to write the advice based on what we intend the future browsers to be. > I've added a paragraph to the title="" attribute subsection in the rendering > section encouraging UAs to provide keyboard access for tooltips. > See also UAAG Guideline 4.1. > If you disagree with this resolution, please escalate this issue to the chairs. I do not consider the resolution you have provided to be satisfactory, so will add the issue to the html issue tracker. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
