Hey guys, I have been struggling with this one. I suspect the problem is that I am missing the obvious. I have lots of different sidebars menu which I generate like this:- \ # - They work fine. My problem is that for accessibility purposes I need to ensure that I add a title to all links. So the title should be something like "Click here to find out more about our . I’ve been struggling to find the right syntax for r:link. Could somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance Harvey This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by MessageLabs. ---

Is the title attribute part of an accessibility spec? – John L. [http://wiseheartdesign.com](http://wiseheartdesign.com) ---

Thanks John works as advertised. I am no expect when it comes to accessibility. Luckily the designer I am working with is guiding me. He’s basically told me that all hyperlinks should have titles for screen readers. Pictures and table should also have the appropriate comments incorporated. Harvey On 11/7/06 15:34, “John W.

Only where they add extra information. For example linking to a pdf with pdf, you’d want to be adding the title there. If the text of the link is description about where it’s going (which \ does by including the title of the destination), then there’s no added benefit from the inclusion of a title attribute. The “click here to find out more about” is implied by the fact that you’re using a link, and the is defined by your link text. It might be worth spitting out a title attribute for the case where the author is providing their own link text (\whatever\) but not for the simple \ case. You can add arbitary html attributes to the link tag to get them added to your document, though you can’t use expressions in those attributes (which is a big weakness of the tag approach to templating). So you can put: \ and that will be rendered as: Some Title But you can’t do: \”/\> Dan.
