Tooltips should be supported on any element that has a title attribute. Especially A's and IMG's. In the case of an IMG with an ALT attribute and a TITLE attribute, the TITLE should be used for the tooptip.

Can be tested with testcase at http://slip/projects/marvin/bugs/title_bug.html. This bug does not occur with 4.51, putting on [4.xP] radar.

When I tested this URL against 4.51, I could not see that it worked.

So, this bug occurs on 4.51 and 5.0, yes? And with IE?

The original bug I wrote up (marked a dup of this one) concerned itself specifically with the functionality of the TITLE attribute. One way that it can manifest itself is as a tool tip. So, the bug was not a 'tool tip' bug so to speak, but a bug indicating that the TITLE attribute does not work . The TITLE attribute does not work in 4.51 or 5.0. IE implements the TITLE attribute using tool tips - the TITLE attribute DOES work in IE.

Suggest and update in the Summary. Adding into in Status Whiteboard.

I don't think ALT should ever be used for tooltips. It is intended to replace the image, and if it causes tooltips, it will discourage people from using ALT.

Yes, I agree with David. Alt should never be used for the tooltip

A thorough spec UI has been written for this in bug 1995. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1995 ***
