Hyperlink Titles


Requirement:

Each hyperlink title is meaningful and adequately describes the link's destination.

Some users move through a web site using a TAB key to move from link to link instead of clicking with a mouse. Users using speech readers like Jaws or users with mobility impairments often rely on the tab key to move easily through web pages.

Hyperlink titles like 'Click Here' that are not meaningful can cause problems because they do not adequately describe where the hyperlink leads to. Users using the tab key only hear or see 'Click Here' and have no idea what is behind the link.
