Please can you provide more information about the form. I would be
hesitant in agreeing with a solution that seems to omit the labels for

I agree with this pattern for some scenerios, for example with tabbed

it would cause usability issues with the expanded

There is the argument that you are changing the behaviour of IE,
however wrong it is, it could be what users expect. I believe Jaws

I'm not sure exactly what the spec says, go read it, but alt stands
for alternative so the content would be represented alternatively when
say the other content was unavailble. Where as title is meant to
provide additional information related to the content such as a title.

Screen readers handling of JavaScript events are a real pain as not only do

You need to associate a label * with your select element. For instance:

Hello all,
If I have an image which has a relationship to other content within a
containing element how should this be marked up.
For instance:
1.
Person A
Big feet
Small hands
2.
Person A
Big feet
Small hands
3.
Person A
Big feet
Small hands
4.
Person A
