Title tags for accessibility

Hi,

I’d like to add meaningful title tags to some links and can’t seem to figure out how.

I have it working on Permalinks thanks to a post on the forum by Mary (thanks!) but I’m struggling with comment invite links and category links – eg:

On a comment invite link: title=“Comment on [Article Name]”

On a category link: title=“View all posts in [Category Name]”

Any pointers much appreciated.

Re: Title tags for accessibility

Here’s a solution for the comments invite:

<txp:if_comments_allowed><a href="<txp:permlink />#comment" title="Comment on <txp:title />">Commentary</a></txp:if_comments_allowed>

<p>Obviously, make sure that you have a “comment” anchor just above your comments display. <a name="comment"></a> will work in this case.</p>

As for the category list, not sure. It would likely be easy to hack the code a bit. Around line 465 in /textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php is where you’d wanna look. Haven’t tried it myself, but it looks like it’d be a snap (famous last words).

Anyways. Hope it helps.
