Bootstrap's tooltip are a good improvement on the defaut browser-dependent approach but are not suitable for screen readers.
The framework removes the title attribute and replace it by its own (data-original-title), making screen readers unable to access the title attribute anymore.

  • adding ARIA tags (aria-label) is not recommended by specs, and override all textual information.
  • JQueryUI tooltips seem to be much better (and are handling ARIA properly)

JQueryUI and Boostrap will conflict. Need to use JQuery's widget bridge

    $.widget.bridge('uitooltip', $.ui.tooltip);
    $(document).uitooltip({  });
