We never see the tooltip, so having it in the accessible name but not visible is still a pretty big problem.<br /> <br /> I'm fortunate in that I can still use the mouse - it is just painful. Some can't us it at all.<br /> <br /> This is why it's important that information be visible if it conveys necessary information, not simply be part of the name calculation.<br /> <br /> From: WebAIM-Forum < <EMAIL REMOVED> > On Behalf Of Kevin Prince<br /> Sent: Thursday, September 7, 2023 15:12<br /> To: WebAIM Discussion List < <EMAIL REMOVED> ><br /> Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Providing accessible names with <title><br /> <br /> Depends whether they are displaying information not available elsewhere - they are important for mouse users - but the message may be comveyed by other means (accessible name?0 for other modalities.
