I'm sorry, but I disagree with these changes. I don't think they add any functionality or improve accessibility.

https://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/2010/11/using-the-html-title-attribute/

...which quotes the W3C:

"Relying on the title attribute is currently discouraged as many user agents do not expose the attribute in an accessible manner as required by this specification (e.g. requiring a pointing device such as a mouse to cause a tooltip to appear, which excludes keyboard-only users and touch-only users, such as anyone with a modern phone or tablet)."

What do you suggest to use instead?

What problem are we trying to solve?

The accessibility, for example an image need "alt" attibute or we don't need nothing here because this is redundant like Isofarro explain in this post <http://accessibilitytips.com/2008/04/14/avoiding-redundant-title-attributes/> Regards -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I don't think that post makes a good case for use of the title attribute. I'm not sure why you mention the "alt" attribute, since that's a completely different issue.

I didn't express my ideas properly.

The text of a link should express what its purpose is. In cases where the text of the link is not clear, adding a title attribute isn't going to do much, if anything, to help.

Amen to that -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

My entire reason for this patch was that some of the links had title tags and some didn't on circulation-home.tt. I thought adding titles to all of them would add consistency and maybe be more semantically correct. I do understand if you don't see the point of this patch, but the point was, if we have it for some of them we should have it for all of them.

In my opinion your point of view it is Ok. If Owen give you another Ok i'll sign-off. On the contrary, we need to remove the title attribute from other links you found out. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
