[WG: Accessibility] [Building Sakai] SAK-22041. Velocimacro change to support screen readers

[Humbert, Joseph A]

Using a title attribute to label a form control works just fine as long as the title accurately describes the form control in plain English. Thankx.

None really. The macro never applies a title to the date selection inputs so all of the tools using the macro will be producing inaccessible markup to a degree. All I'm really after is somebody to validate,  or rubbish, what I think should be done. Hence my mail to the dev list.

Cheers,
Adrian.

Since this appears to be accessibility related it should go to the a11y team.
