the following short test program shows that Amaya doesn't display title attributes while all other browsers tested show them as tooltip like popup boxes. These can be extremely useful to page readers as longer explanations can be offered as to where a hotlink may take them or perhaps a definition of a rarely used word or term. Consistency between ways browsers render attributes and properties help both the author and the reader as one can't enforce tools other uses. <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head><title>Tooltip Attribute</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> </head><body> <h1>Demo of Tooltip Usage</h1> <p>Hover the link and observe!</p> <a title="This page offers classrooms in Basic Internet skills, WebPage authoring, JavaScript, Java, and Operating Systems." href="http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll/home.htm">JR's Education Page</a> </body> </html> -- John Russell, VE3LL@RAC.CA http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll (2 L's as in LLAMA) check HTML at http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ check CSS at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ check JavaScript at http://www.crockford.com/javascript/jslint.html
