title-Attribute as name for control element and formfields

[ThomKoeh]

Dear experts,

does a graphical control element violate WCAG, when its only label is a title-Attribute?
does a form element (for example an input field) violate WCAG if its only programatic label is a title-Attribute.
I need a clear statement.

kind regards
Thomas

yes it violates labels and instructions, as for a keyboard user the title tooltip never shows (assuming you have no other visible label nearby)

Thanks for your answer. How is it with graphical controls and formfields that have a visible label nearby, which is not associated directly with the field?
