Re: Using CSS to hide a portion of the link text

"Why do we (and WCAG) go out of our way to let users avoid context when reading our pages? Is it because screen reader users can navigate by running through a list of links? Well I (a sighted user) can do the same thing by scanning the page, but I still need to go back and check the context of a link before I click on it."

So you're saying you'd benefit from better (more context independent) link text too?

Léonie.
