Re: Identifying link targets

I tend to err on the safe side and create off-left spans around information.

So a table that contained

===================================== | DOC | PDF | |
=====================================
would be coded (th's left off for examples sake)


Word Document version
for DOC
Adobe Acrobat version
for DOC



I'm not saying that the information in the span is the exact information to
give (other suggestions on this thread have been helpful in that regard),
however, for myself at least, this compromise allows my visual users to have
a nicely laid out visual screen, while still allowing screen readers to have
differentiated links

Well, during this discussion, we've determined that title attributes aren't
a safe bet, as the major screen readers do not read these by default.
