"Title" attribute in flash dialog isn't useful

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

The <object> element might accept a "title" attribute, but the reality is that the browsers won't use it anyway with flash objects, so that's something that isn't useful to the end user and it would be better if it's removed.

Apart from browsers support, we need to investigate the accessibility requirements related to it, if any.

Title attribute for object element is often displayed in browsers as tooltip but this is not the case in flash object. This attribute is also not read by JAWS 13.

Why not to remove this field:

1. It is not deprecated even in HTML5.
2. It doesn't do any damage.
3. Despite that it is useless from our point of view we can't be sure that none of our users has built some tool that actually uses this attribute from flash object. Removing this filed would make him enter this value only in source mode and this is not very user friendly. This filed was present so long that we can't be sure that such scenario didn't take place.

I’m closing this issue but if anyone still thinks we should remove this filed please reopen it or leave a comment.

Replying to j.swiderski:

Unfortunately your point "3" is not a good justification to make this invalid.

Title attribute for object element is often displayed in browsers as tooltip but this is not the case in flash object. This attribute is also not read by JAWS 13.

This instead are very good reasons to make it valid.

The idea is that, if we can make things simpler, we should do it.
