It is in a W3C Recommendation (i.e. it's a W3C standard) that if they have a tooltip on mouseover they need to have a tooltip when you key there. Sound on event, in contrast, cannot be done with a W3C standard in HTML (but can in SMIL - HTML is a simple language for documents, and isn't expected to cover everything. The point of developing XML languages like SMIL, SVG, XHTML+SVG+MathML, etc, is to allow more powerful functionality like this...) cheers Chaals On Friday, Jan 24, 2003, at 06:00 Australia/Melbourne, Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: > > I think there may have been a misunderstanding, my concern is not the > example that if something(tootip) is presented by a mouse action, then > it ought to be possible to access this via a keyboard. rather where is > the process to inform this agreement? > > When i contact browser developers, they say that if it aint a W3C > standard they wont implement it.
