However, it should be noted that good speech recognition software like WSR is generally able to parse the DOM, not just the initial HTML markup. But that means you have to be careful with your JavaScript, adding the title attribute when necessary in the code. Of course, this step is easier to forget in JavaScript as compared to markup, so that is often why it is a real problem for me.Marc of the Webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14493433486166637987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117699627628650163.post-57779379500848606362008-03-21T19:13:00.000-05:002008-03-21T19:13:00.000-05:00Excellent advice.

If I am confronted with a website that requires JavaScript in order for the links to work I may choose to enable JS for that site on my laptop. If I happen to be using my ancient handheld I will have no choice but to give up and go elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip on the title for links, I will try to be more consistent in using a title.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
