Re: Best way to set up links to documents

Hi Keith,

Another approach is the use the listing format: For example:

<p>The following forms and information are available in the following
formats:</p>

<ul>
<li>Disability Verification Form:<ul>
<li>MS Word</li>
<li>PDF</li>
</ul></li></ul>

<ul>
<li> Disability Questionnaire:<ul>
<li>MS Word</li>
<li>PDF</li>
</ul></li></ul>

<ul>
<li> Application for Services:<ul>
<li>MS Word</li>
<li>PDF</li>
</ul></li></ul>


where MS Word and PDF are the links. One can use CSS to control the look of
the page without affect the screen readers.

Still another way is to use the <form> tag with the drop down menu. But that
might be a pain for the regular vision users.

Most of my screen readers don't see or hear the title attributes. I'm not
sure why.

Hope this helps,
Randy Pope
