Hi all, A recent decision by the HTML working group makes it conforming to provide caption content for images whilst omitting the alt attribute. This is problematic because while alt is designed to be presented to users when the image cannot be viewed, and it is implemented as such. The title attribute is for advisory information that should be available to all users at any time. This is not the case and has never been the case in any graphical browser. Can any of the representatives from browser vendors provide information as to when the title attribute will be implemented so: * keyboard only users are aware that a title attribute is present on an element? * keyboard only users are able to access the title attribute content on an element using the keyboard? * The display of the title attribute content is configurable so that users of screen magnifiers are able view title attribute content within the viewport? * access to title attribute content will be available on mobile and touch browsers? -- with regards Steve Faulkner
