Re: Proper title for accordion menu links?

Thanks, I'm aware of all that. I have fieldsets with multiple fields (all
with proper labels). As I said, users click on the legend to reveal the
items in the fieldset.

All I was asking about is the link title. If not "click" then what? I
haven't heard any alternatives suggested here.
