Comment 83: Source: http://www.w3.org/mid/001f01c695f9$31b504e0$9288b23a@tkhcomputer (Issue ID: LC-1110) Click here: Please clarify whether or not this SC allows for link text such as "Click here" and "more". If so this SC should be rewritten to outlaw this ext Proposed Change: Clarify or rewrite SC ---------------------------- Response from Working Group: ---------------------------- SC 2.4.4 allows for link text such as "Click here" and "more" as long as the purpose of the link can still be determined from programmatically determined context such as the enclosing sentence, paragraph, or list item. We have added such an example to How To Meet SC 2.4.4, to clarify that they are permitted. However, the Intent section of How To Meet SC 2.4.4 has been changed to encourage authors to make the link text as meaningful as possible. ---------------------------- Response from GSW: ---------------------------- If this is the case then the intents and benefits section needs to be rewritten as it is peppered with benefits that are reliant on the pure link text being comprehensible (eg. tabbing from link to link) not the link text and its surrounding content. In addition to this I still believe that WCAG2 should outlaw "click here" and "more" links.
