For the love of all that is holy, can you all please start using `` for navigation and `` for actions, not the other way around?

@mirabilos Before you get back to that other point; if itโs of the same level as setting cursors in CSS, please spare yourself the effort, I am aware of that.
-
@Optional Perfect. 10/10 no remarks. Ship it!
-
@mahryekuh no, itโs about the
inputs (specifically, checking if their button variants work on text browsers) -
@mirabilos Now that sounds interesting.
-
@mahryekuh You have a typo:
> Be aware that I will use the words "link" and "anchor" to refer to the HTML <a> attribute, ...
"attribute" should be "element".
I'd also suggest hiding the line numbers in code snipets with `aria-hidden`, because they prevent screen readers from conveying indentation properly. A solution that makes the line numbers more accessible would of course be better, but I don't know of one on the web.
-
@mahryekuh I didn't think devs needed a(nother) blog post to understand this quite simple concept ๐ซ
But experience confirms many web devs still don't understand, it seems. So, thanks for doing your part ๐ซก
-
@mahryekuh Beyond that, despite my thoughts on the other thread, this is a good article on the topic.
-
@jscholes Thanks. The entire code block is a disaster (visually as well) and I donโt control the output. Itโs one of those legacy things Iโve been meaning to fix for longer than I care to admit.
My apologies for the bad experience. Once I have fixed some other style and JS related stuff, this comes next.
-
@maybeanerd I joked a while ago that with the way people treat link versus button, it feels like subject that requires a PhD.
-
@jscholes Thank you. Much appreciated!

> One of my top annoyances with websites is when I want to open a link in a new tab and find out that I can't.
This! Exactly this! Even large websites break this pattern regularly. Makes me mad everytime!

@mahryekuh My pet peeve is JavaScript anchor tag links:
<a href="#" onclick="window.location.href = 'https://example.com'">Example</a>
Completely insufferable.
-
what about <a class="btn"> ?

@mahryekuh which one? link?
-
@simon_m If it is a link that acts like a link but has to look like a button, itโs probably fine.
