Links

Most of the links with a text that does not describe completely its have title attributes with some explanation.

When it is possible, links are written in a way that they make sense out of context. Some browsers (such like JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) can draw the list of links from the present page and allow users to navigate from this list. Taking this into account, links are not duplicated and if they are it it is because they acess to the same contents.

There are no javascript Pseudo-links.Most of the links can be followed through any browser, even if javascript is disabled.
