So write <a href="thispage.html">this page</a>
David said:Of course, you probably don't understand what alt is really all about, and
what you really want to do is entirely achievable.

So write <a href="thispage.html">this page</a> or
<a href="thispage.html" title="that page">this page</a>
with the TITLE attribute.

I think "this page" is almost as bad as "click here".
Eric said:And for the same reason: it says nothing about what makes that link
different from any other link on the page.
Toby A Inkster said:Well, "click here" is bad for two reasons. "This page" is only bad
for the first of them.
1. "click here" does not describe what's on the other end of the
link.
2. "click here" is not device-independent. It assumes the use of a
mouse or similar pointing device.
