Title is an acceptable way to label such graphics. Depending on the exact code you're talking about ... that's not quite accurate I think. If it's just an arbitrary <span> or similar, just sticking a title attribute on it won't expose that as an accessible name for the <span>, unless I'm misremembering. Ditto for adding something like aria-label to an arbitrary element that is not normally labellable. P -- Patrick H.
