title Attribute

Another attribute for improving the accessibility of form fields (as well as links, images, and other resources) is title. Use it to provide a description of the field or special instructions. Speech browsers may speak the title when the form field is brought into focus. Visual browsers may render titles as “tool tips” that appear when the pointer pauses over the control.
