RE: title attribute of anchor tag

Your CSS trick is pretty neat. The reason why I have this thing going is
that I don't have enough space in the text link area, so I'm calling the
links like Figure 1, Figure 2, and etc., and when you mouse over these links
javascript brings up their associated images on the other part of the page
to give titles/descriptions of those figures. Initially I was happy to hear
JAWS reading the anchor tags' title attribute values, but now I'm thinking
that's not good enough since it is ignoring the words of actual text links
(hence it's not providing the equivalent information). Anyway I'll probably
go with the second option... I can't think of anything better than that.
Thank you!
