Is there a best practice for making tooltip type functionality accessible to people with accessibility needs?
I am interested in jquery tooltip and have found a few others but I am thinking twice before spending anytime as I am concerned about accessibility compliance of these.
Use the title attribute of relevant elements to provide information. However, note that although most browsers show these as tooltips, they're not required to. Several jQuery tooltip libraries use the title attribute to grab tooltip text, so I would look into any that do this.
