Hyper links can be used in any fasion one desitres whis is why they are called hyper. it is perfectly acceptable and an accessibility issue in some instances to allow one to have a list of well written links such that they compose a table of contents through which one can hyper through. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kynn Bartlett" <kynn-edapta@idyllmtn.com> To: "Lynn Alford" <lynn.alford@jcu.edu.au>; <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 3:35 PM Subject: Re: Click here At 2:40 PM +1000 8/9/02, Lynn Alford wrote: >Does anyone have or know of a good page that explains why "click >here" is bad linking practice? 'Click here' is bad style but it's not an accessibility problem. At worst it's just poor use of hypertext. (Yes, I realize that some screenreaders will take links out of context and present them as a list, but that is ALSO poor use of hypertext -- hypertext links aren't meant to be used in that way.) --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
