Titles, tooltips, and accessibility
I'm working on a multilingual page and where other languages happen I add
titles where appropriate like or . I was finding that the tooltips were taking almost 2 seconds to appear so I wanted to have a more instant notification that help was on the way. I considered colouring the text or add some other visual indicator and may still do that, but I found styling the cursor when the text is hovered like so works great for people using mice. What I have no idea, is how accessibility tools work with spans and if I should be adding :focus or :focus-within styles or ???. For that matter, I suppose that touch device users are also being left out. 8-( Is action needed for accessibility?1 Reply
for span tags and such non semantic tags, well u can always use area labeling to make non semantic tags have semantic meanings
but since your ultimate goal here is to just let the user know that help is on the way, just simply add an animation
or use js to show a pop up on top of the page to let the user know help is on the way
