Steve Swinsburg commented on WICKET-1878:
-----------------------------------------
This is why I proposed the additional constructor so people can choose to
automatically implement the title attribute by using that constructor. My
example above was exactlty that, just an example, not how I wanted it
implemented - so just adding the label as a title would not be the nicest
implementation.
If you think the title attribute is optional, try talking to some disabled
people who use screen readers. Again I am not saying it should be there by
default, but an additional constructor would be nice.
For accessibility reasons, these things need to be addressed.
> ExternalLink should have title field

> Key: WICKET-1878
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-1878
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wicket
> Affects Versions: 1.3.4, 1.4-M3
> Reporter: Steve Swinsburg
>
> The ExternalLink component should either by default have a title field, or
> have another constructor that takes the title as a paremeter. Currently this
> is only achieved by using AttributeAppender and setting the title attribute
> onto the link.
> eg current:
> ExternalLink emailLink = new ExternalLink("mailToLink",new Model("mailto:"; +
> emailAddress),new Model(emailAddress));
> emailLink.add(new AttributeAppender("title", new Model(emailAddress), " "));
> I propose the following constructor:
> ExternalLink(java.lang.String id, java.lang.String href, java.lang.String
> label, java.lang.String title)
