Re: textbox in table cell

Your latter approach (using the "title" attribute) seems quick and
easier, but it does seem like a misuse.

I guess my real question is, in the example I provided, when you are in
a table cell, don't screenreaders tell the cell's associated headers and
therefore doesn't that implicitly tell what that textbox is for? Or is
this too vague? Yes, your former approach makes it explicit and very
clear, but I want to know if this is really necessary since I have too
many textboxes to deal with.
