I recently tested a site that contains a lot of images. None of the images
has an alt attribute but they all have a title attribute. I tested with two
versions of Jaws and the latest version of NVDA and the title attribute was
read in all three cases. Does the title attribute have enough support to be
considered a sufficient technique?
