Toolbar menu items backgroud images do not have ALT text values assigned. This violates 508 certification requirements: ยง 1194.22 (a) Text Equivalents Provision a text equivalent for every non-text element shall be provided (e.g., via "alt", "LongDesc", or in element content).

Fixed in GateIn master. https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-2983
Lucas Ponce <ponce.ballesteros> made a comment on jira GTNPORTAL-2983 Summary of changes: adding title="<description>" attribute in those <a> <div> elements that use background images in their style.
According with XHTML reference: http://xhtml.com/en/xhtml/reference/div/#div-attributes "title" attribute can be used: "Assistive technologies may make this information available to users as additional information about the element." So, for <div> or <a> tags that uses images in the css background we will use this workaround to display an alternative text.
