For more details, see this document: > http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html > > Status: Rejected > Change Description: no spec change > Rationale: The title="" attribute is as close as we can get to this without > being media- or device-specific. Just consider title="" to be for tooltips and > in practice you will be fine. > > The reason that the spec dodges the issue as it does is that we have to leave > precise user interface details up to the user agent. For example, the Lynx > implementors might prefer to show the advisory text in a status line rather > than in a tooltip. "The tooltip is a common graphical user interface element. It is used in conjunction with a cursor,usually a mouse pointer. The user hovers the cursor over an item, without clicking it, and a tooltip may appear — a small "hover box" with informationabout the item being hovered over." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooltip) If I wish to ensure that my content appears as a tooltip either: 1. UAs must support the functionality, and must so do accessibly, or 2. I must implement the functionality myself. The current spec * does not * provide for a tooltip, only that the title attribute content * may * 'be appropriate for a tooltip' -- 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.
