the way I understand it is that if there is link text and a title, the link text will always be chosen over title. Johnnie Apple Seed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick H.

I would go for a title that combines the normal link text and the DC.description (as, depending on verbosity settings, I think that certain screenreaders and user agents may only choose to announce the link text or the title - so having the link text in both places would be the belt and braces approach): <a href="contact.html" title="Contact Us - contact information for xyz company">Contact Us</a> Patrick H.
