Title Attribute Example

Specific link names and the title attribute will help the user know what will happen when they click on the link.

By specifying the value of the "title" attribute you clearly and accurately describe the target of the link.

Example

To add the title attribute to a link, find the <a href="http://www.google.com"> tag. Then add the title attribute: <a href="http://www.google.com" title="Google">

To see an example of the title attribute for Google in action, place your mouse over the link in this sentence, or configure your screen reader to read the title attribute.
