I get a lot of mobile phone users here.
click would definately not be a suitable word to use on any page mobile
phone users are likely to look at.

On a related note, though not involving galleries, I find a lot of our
clients want to have linked text along the lines of Click here for more
details on product x. I have managed to fairly much insist that we
always use the entire sentence as a link to show context, rather than
just the click
Doesn't More details on product x mean exactly the same thing as Click
here for more details on product x if the whole line is a link? Surely
people recognise links enough that they don't need to be told to click
every single one?

Hi John,
Do you ever find that your solution causes you page layout problems
(that is, including the uri as the link text)?
When I first encountered “web standards” folk, it was suggested to me
that including uris as link text wasn’t ideal for accessibility reasons,
because of screen
John Faulds:

click every single one?
I agree. The verb ('click here', 'go to' etc) really shouldn't form part
of the link text.
kind regards

My good people,
It's really a matter of simple common sense. Yes, we want to cater to
the largest possible audience. But in all reality, unless our site in
question is the first web page someone has ever encountered, they'll
understand that whether they click, press enter or any other

I've been using View Larger Image.
Perhaps even view is the wrong term now that I think about it. But
wouldn't those with sight disabilities pick up on the alt and title tags
of the img and href and ignore clicking on it in the first place?
something like this:

Hi,
Yes, having mnore than one link with the same link-text but different href
URL breaks fundamental accessibility guidelines.
However, in this case, where there is also an image (with alt text) inside
the link, would not the link text for a screenreader become:

Hi,
Know Thy Market is fine for usability (as far it goes).
But, for accessibility, this is not sufficient. It's not just internet
newbs who aren't able to use this mousey thing.

This is getting a bit off track, isn't it? The original post was
concerned about the assumption that a user is using a mouse at all.
For accessibility, it's a good idea to include a description within
the link of exactly what it's linking to. Larger Image is not very
descriptive. Larger
