>In the table under Monthly and Quarterly FMS Processes you will see the
>presentation of documents with the same name that are presented each
>month.
>I am concerned about whether this method of presentation satisfies Success
>Criterion 2.4.4. If a screen reader was reading a links list, it would fail, but
>taken in the context of the table, the user would perceive what month it's for
>by the value in the first column Month/Year.
>
>I'm afraid if I add the month/year onto the link label it will add a lot of visual
>clutter and may just make aural clutter for the screen reader user.
>
>However, if it is better for me to add the month/year to the link label, would
>it be better at the front of the label or at the end?
>
>Thank you for opinions.
