You can, however, for clarification to the readers of this list, the title attribute for some elements is meant to be supplementary only and should not be used to label the element. In the case of a frame the title will provide an accessible label to users of assistive technology. For other element such as the embed element or object element it may appear like a good method but the title attribute would likely never be seen. For elements like divs, tables, etc. the title should not be used to provide an accessible label as it is not the appropriate method.

If you write your own controls for the player, you can do even more... cheers Chaals > I really appreciate a bit of input here! > > Thanks in advance for your help! > > Solong > > Ginger > -- Charles McCathie Nevile - Consultant (web standards) CTO Office, Yandex chaals@yandex-team.ru Find more at http://yandex.com
