Title:
Eliminate links-that-look-like-buttons & buttons-that-look-like-links
Status in Mahara:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Mahara contains quite a few HTML links (<a> tags) that are styled to
look like buttons. It may also contain some buttons (<input> tags and
<button> tags) that are styled to look like links.
These interfere with our ability to write automated tests, and they're
bad for accessibility. As the Mahara accessibility checklist says:
"Use buttons and links consistently.
- Use a link if you're navigating to a predefined page or section
(navigation, tabs, etc.)
- Use a button if you're changing information or state (submitting a form,
editing or deleting content, searching, etc.)"
From
https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Developer_Area/Accessibility_Checklist#Forms
To facilitate this, we should write a PHP function (and Dwoo tag) that
allows you to create a "link button", i.e. a button that, when
clicked, simply takes you to a specified URL. Then we can
systematically locate all the links-that-look-like-buttons and replace
them with actual buttons using this functionality.
