>Very often, four or five words in an alt and a couple of sentences >in a title fully and completely sum up an image. As Al Gilman pointed out recently [1], the presence of a title attribute causes JAWS to ignore the alt attribute completely and read only the title. Has anyone tested to see how WindowEyes, HPR, etc. handle the presence of both title and alt? (We have referred to this behavior as a JAWS bug, but it may simply reflect the way that IE treats title and alt.) In practical terms, this would simply mean that if one is including the title attribute for a particular image, one should not count on users being able to hear or see what's in the alt attribute.
