i just spent last week marking up content for a new website where the client had used 'click here' with absolutely *every* link, at least twice on each page. i thought i was going crazy. apart from any screenreader problems, i think it's patronizing the user. the pages were littered with 'click on the link below', 'click on the icon below to go to suchandsuch website' and similar. this prompted me to add a whole new paragraph to my accessibility guide. i think there are oodles of ways to avoid using 'click here'. http://www.jarmin.com/accessibility/techniques/content.html iris ===== ******************************* omnia mea mecum porto <http://www.jarmin.com/> <http://www.demos.ac.uk/> ******************************* __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
