Comment 82: Source: http://www.w3.org/mid/001f01c695f9$31b504e0$9288b23a@tkhcomputer (Issue ID: LC-1109) Supplemental text: I completely disagree with supplementing link text with hidden text via CSS. If more information is required in order to understand the link, then it should be available to everyone, not just people who use screen readers Proposed Change: Remove this Technique ---------------------------- Response from Working Group: ---------------------------- The description of this technique indicates that this is an appropriate technique when information is already provided in the surrounding context but is needed as part of the link text to interpret the link text when it is displayed out of context. The supplementary text would be information that is already available to all when the link is read in context. ---------------------------- Response from GSW: ---------------------------- Yes but that assumes that people who cannot access the context of the link can access the hidden information, which is not the case for magnifier users.
