Web Accessibility

Multiple Link Example

"Auditory users" -- people who are blind, have difficulty seeing, or who are using devices with small or no displays -- are unable to scan the page quickly with their eyes. To get an overview of a page or to quickly find a link, these users will often tab from one link to the next or review a list of available links on a page.

Thus, for a series of related links, include introductory information in the first link, then distinguishing information in the links that follow. This will provide context information for users reading them in sequence.

Example

My document is available in HTML, PDF, and plain text.

To see or hear the introductory information, place your mouse over the links above, or configure your screen reader to read the title attribute.

Source Code

<A href="my-doc.html">My document is available in HTML</A>,
<A href="my-doc.pdf" title="My document in PDF">PDF</A>,
<A href="my-doc.txt" title="My document in text">plain text</A>
