This an enhancement request for adding support for tooltips in SVG documents Mention of tooltips is made here: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20041027/applications.html I am not sure what the final resolution of this draft is though, though an example from this draft is outlined below: <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="25" fill="red" tooltip="enable"> <title>The target area</title> </circle> Currently Opera 9.5 has confirmed support for tooltips in SVG documents, though it shows tooltips without the requirement of the tooltip="enable" attribute.
title change
This would be easy to do. Currently we're only targeting SVG 1.1 however.
Eric, can you clarify: I believe the example: <circle> <title>...</title> </circle> is a valid SVG 1.1 example. My belief is that the algorithm should go something like this: - if an element is a <a> and has a xlink:title, then display that attr node value as the tooltip - else if an element has a <title>, then display its text contents as its tooltip
Ah, I'm sorry, I missed the spec link and the 'tooltip' attribute. I redact my previous comment.
(In reply to comment #4) > Ah, I'm sorry, I missed the spec link and the 'tooltip' attribute. Yes, the URL should point to the "The tooltip property" section [1] directly. ;-) [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20041027/applications.html#tooltip-property
That spec is no longer valid (obsolete). SVGT 1.2 became a recommendation and they specify tooltip as http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/struct.html#uiTitleDescBehavior and recommend using ARIA role="tooltip" Is this bug valid anymore?
