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
