Re: Footnotes and Tooltips

Hi Jeana,
I was wondering, forgive my ignorance but if navigated using keyboard,
would the hover be triggered when it gained focus? If yes, would any
pertinent information be covered by the appearance of that information
before the user could see it?

When thinking about using hovers some things I have check for is whether
the hover will impact keyboard-only users, also not all screen-reader users
are blind, I'm guessing this is solely for desk top.

I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but wondered if their may
be something impacted by that.
