The desired functionality is to display the shortened version on the link with the full string inside the title attribute on the link so that it will display as a tooltip. In our application this will, in some instances, be too long to display and so needs to be truncated. The link name is a title field which could be up to 100 characters long. We have a list of links, each representing a user-entered data set. > I've been doing some research on acceptable uses of title attributes on links but can't seem to find anything on a piece of functionality we're about to implement. > From: WebAIM-Forum On Behalf Of Steven Garvin > Texas Health and Human Services Commission It requires the user make changes to their verbosity settings. > The title will not be read for a text link in JAWS by default. I believe this will be OK in this situation, though on a specific web site there were onClick spans that VoiceOver would read click here for more inofrmation, and one would not know what you were supposed to find more information about. VoiceOVer on the Macintosh will generally read the title rather than the screen text unless you interact with the element. Remember, that JAWS is not the only screen reader.

Is the solution to add an Aria-label with the full title? My question is then, is this an acceptably accessible solution? My understanding is that JAWS for one will read both the link name and the title, which seems a bit wrong to me. I've been doing some research on acceptable uses of title attributes on links but can't seem to find anything on a piece of functionality we're about to implement.
