ah, but using a graphic and then words that do not match the words in it
goes against the convention.

HI Alan,
Dependent on version and individual configurations, Jaws may speak titles.
Consider also the following:
1. Titles don't appear in the Links List ("Click here" will still show up
as
"Click here" - regardless of title).
2. Dependent on browser, titles may display as a pop-up tool-tip when the
mouse is over the item. Tool tips can also be spoken by Jaws if it is
configured to do so.
3. Text-only browsers (like Lynx), don't provide title information.
4. If a graphic has an alt tag AND a title, the title will display on
mouse-over, but the alt tag replaces graphics on text-only pages.
In my opinion, titles are great, but not always available.
As an option, perhaps use a graphic that says "Click here" (to satisfy the
boss), but label the graphic with a more meaningful alt tag. It will appear
in the Links List (and in text-only browsers) described by it's alt tag.
Have a great day!
Marlys
