Re: Contradictory statements on form controls

Hi Kelly,

The techniques are examples on how to “sufficiently” address WCAG 
Success Criteria. In this case, yes, using the title is one way to 
archive that but there are other ways that are more best practice. The 
tutorials show best practices. If you want you can use a title, but 
there are other ways to satisfy the Success Criterion.
