#31678 closed enhancement (invalid)

Insert/Add Link Doesn't Add The Title Between The a Tags

Description

I the text editor, if you click Insert/Edit Link and select existing content the title for the existing content is highlighted and included

<a href='http://postimage.org/' target='_blank'><img src='http://s13.postimg.org/mcrosmfev/insert_edit_link.png' border='0' alt="insert edit link" /></a>

But when you click Add, the title is not included between the a tags so there's no visible title therefore no link on the front end meaning you have to edit the HTML or manually add the title.

<a href='http://postimage.org/' target='_blank'><img src='http://s23.postimg.org/hpurj4qy3/html_link.png' border='0' alt="html link" /></a>

As an enhancement, to save time, this could be modified to wrap the title in the a tags.

Hi @wordpresssites, welcome to Trac!

We've actually adjusted this workflow in trunk and the changes will ship with 4.2. The Title field was previously used to populate the title attribute, and that's been removed in the spirit of good accessibility. The new Link Text field does what you're asking for:

Insert link title is now missing completely? -.- this is not an acceptable solution. screen reader use the title as well as it indicates the link target.

Replying to mobiFlip:

Title attributes actually have no useful purpose for accessibility, see #24766.

This was a deliberate change, please see the discussion in #32095 for an explanation.

This specific bug report is unrelated, re-closing.

@SergeyBiryukov

Not acceptable because it takes longer to add related post links in the editor as you now need to add the title manually. Its a backwards solution and not a real enhancement because it now requires double handling and is therefore less efficient. The title text is already there and saved but now you are forcing manual insertion of it again.
