I have had a look at the friends of ed book "Web Accessibility" and my understanding is that the title attribute should be used for the additional fields and <th> where possible. Picking examples from websites, what would the best approach be (assume the fields cannot be changed to a single field) For a credit card entry that is split across 4 fields, what would be placed in the following titles where below there is "????" <label for"creditcard">credit card number</label><input type="text" id ="creditcard" title="first 4 digits"> <input type="text" title="????"> <input type="text" title="????"> <input type="text" title="????"> For a telephone number, would this be acceptable ie the label to the first field that has a title and the sceond field with a title. <label for"telephone">telephone number</label><input type="text" id ="telephone" title="area code"> <input type="text" title="local number"> For a bank sort code <label for"sortcode">sort code</label><input type="text" id ="sortcode" title="first 2 digits"> <input type="text" title="middle 2 digits"> <input type="text" title="last 2 digits"> Any further guidence would be appreciated Thanks Antony
