Deploying <a> tags without title attribute.

[Matthew25]

On a recent project I was asked thwe question:

"Should we be deploying any <a> tags which don't contain title attributes?"


I always thought it wasn't of that much importance but I think that with increasing W3C standards it may hold more weight.

Thanks

A <a> tag without title attribute is acceptable by all search engines and only the href attribute is required. IMO.

Yeah - W3C validation does not require title attributes for <a> tag. I would add them anyway though.
