Re: JAWS 9 - Reading TITLEs of Links

No stats, but I don't know of any JAWS users who do enable the TITLE, as
it's so unpredictably implemented ... and I know quite a few JAWS
users.

ZoomText with Speech users do hear the TITLE attribute value, but its in
addition to, not instead of, link text. Can be quite mind blowing when
the link's a long one and the TITLE just repeats the link.
