Hello list,

Greetings!

Generally, tool tips are implemented via mouse-hovers.

What is the best practice to make them accessible?

Thanks,

Sucharu

When not "displayed" on hover, position them off screen and associate them
with the relevant element on the page using aria-describedby. Also make
them show when the element they're bound to receives focus.

Cheers,

Sean
