Click is slang for "follow this link." There has never in the history of Web access been a single person who knows how to operate a Web browser by typing, speaking, using a switch, or tapping a screen, who has been completely stymied by the concept "click here" and been unable to use the link. Blind people don't go "click here? but i don't use a mouse! AUGH I CAN'T ACCESS THIS SITE!" and run screaming from their computers. Everyone knows what "click" means. It means "follow this link." --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Next Book: Teach Yourself CSS in 24 http://cssin24hours.com Kynn on Web Accessibility ->> http://kynn.com/+sitepoint
