I don't feel it has much purpose if the link text or nearby supporting text explains the link well enough as well as the end result of clicking the link. For example: <p>Our latest white paper explains our awesome new product and how it will make your life great.</p> <a href="">Download the white paper</a> In the above example, I think it's clear what the link will do and what it's for. See http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H33.html Sadly, though, I've had to use the title attribute on links for the sole purpose of causing the tool tip to show on links in IE because the client liked them, which is NOT the purpose of the title attribute. In fact, IIRC, the tool tip showing in IE is actually wrong and shouldn't be happening anyway. -- Tom Livingston | Senior Front End Developer | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | medialogic.com #663399 ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
