alt tags

alt tags for links

[ldsweb]

I want to know if there is an alt tag that can be used on a link? I know how to do the alt tags for images, pictures, etc but I am not sure if it can be done for links.

Thank you in advance

<a title="link tag text" href="http://etc.com/">

Yep, the title element henry0 mentions is the one you're looking for. I use it on my web site in a couple of spots.

Best practices would probably suggest that you use the link text to be as descriptive as possible so you don't need to use the title element, however there are instances where that's just not a good option.
