[Nfb-web] alt vs title

[Michael Hansen]

Personally I have never used the title attribute. I have only used the
alt attribute to provide descriptions of graphics. I am not sure that
the screen readers used by the blind even make use of the title
attribute.

Does anyone on the list know if JAWS or WindowEyes make use of the
titel attribute in any way?
