G'day
I'm working on a site that has lots of "click here" links. I believe
it's considered bad form to use "click here" rather than making the
link on words that better represent the title of the page being
linked. Does anyone know a rule I can point to (and send my client to
read) re accessibility and "click here"?
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/wai-pageauth.html#tech-meaningful-links :
13.1 Clearly identify the target of each link. [Priority 2]
Link text <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/wai-pageauth.html#link-text>
should be meaningful enough to make sense when read out of context
-- either on its own or as part of a sequence of links. Link text
should also be terse. For example, in HTML, write "Information about
version 4.3" instead of "click here".
