Description Neal Timpe CLA 2011-10-28 16:38:16 EDT 
Build Identifier: 3.1 and 3.6

The Javascript hyperlinks in the search and print table in the TOC do not contain alt text adn violate 1.1a, 2.4f, and 4.1b in the w3c checklist.

These elements are flagged as violations in this code sample: 
a, id="hideanchor", href="javascript:void window.location.reload();"

<tr>
<td id="lsubTopicsSearch" class="tdright" height="27" bgcolor="#c0c0c0" align="center" width="25"> &nbsp; </td>
<td id="psubTopicsSearch" nowrap="" onmouseover="highlightitem(this)">
<font size="-1">
</font>
<label id="searchLabela" accesskey="h" for="hideanchor"></label>
<a id="hideanchor" href="javascript:void window.location.reload();"> </a>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an eclipse page
2. Use Firebut to focus on the code in the TOC when the search and print table
pops up.

patch to add 'title' attribute to anchor for menu text
Comment 4 Steve Francisco CLA 2011-11-10 16:39:10 EST 
patch ready for review.  Anchor objects don't have an alt attribute but the 'title' attribute does cause hover text to appear.
Comment 5 Chris Austin CLA 2011-11-11 12:56:52 EST 
Patch looks good.

Patch committed to master.
