- Labeling
<iframe>
elements for assistive technology - Providing a programmatically associated label for an
<input>
element as a fallback for a real<label>
- Labeling controls in data tables
Additional semantics are attached to the title
attributes of the <link>
, <abbr>
, <input>
, and <menuitem>
elements.
Multiline titles
The title
attribute may contain several lines. Each U+000A LINE FEED
(LF
) character represents a line break. Some caution must be taken, as this means the following renders across two lines:
HTML
<p>Newlines in <code>title</code> should be taken into account,
like <abbr title="This is a
multiline title">example</abbr>.</p>

Title attribute inheritance
If an element has no title
attribute, then it inherits it from its parent node, which in turn may inherit it from its parent, and so on.
If this attribute is set to the empty string, it means its ancestors' title
s are irrelevant and shouldn't be used in the tooltip for this element.
HTML
<div title="CoolTip">
<p>Hovering here will show “CoolTip”.</p>
<p title="">Hovering here will show nothing.</p>
</div>

Accessibility concerns
Use of the title
attribute is highly problematic for:
- People using touch-only devices
- People navigating with keyboards
- People navigating with assistive technology such as screen readers or magnifiers
- People experiencing fine motor control impairment
- People with cognitive concerns
This is due to inconsistent browser support, compounded by the additional assistive technology parsing of the browser-rendered page. If a tooltip effect is desired, it is better to use a more accessible technique that can be accessed with the above browsing methods.
