Here a quote from HTML 4.01 spec: "Values of the title attribute may be rendered by user agents in a variety of ways. For instance, visual browsers frequently display the title as a "tool tip" (a short message that appears when the pointing device pauses over an object). Audio user agents may speak the title information in a similar context." There _is_ a concept of a "tooltip" in HTML -- it's there in the spec itself! (This argument is made irrespective of whether or not tooltips are a good idea. I'm just refuting the notion of "no concept.") --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Accessibility - W3C - Integrator Network Tel +1 949-567-7006 ________________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
