Using the HTML title attribute - updated March 2020 | TPG - The Accessibility Experts →

The HTML title attribute is problematic. It is problematic because it is not well supported in some crucial respects, even though it has been with us for over 23 years. With the rise of touch screen interfaces, the usefulness of this attribute has decreased. The accessibility of the title attribute has fallen victim to a unfortunate combination of poor browser support, poor screen reader support and poor authoring practices.
