So my vision for wanting to enforce a bit of accessibility on the web is narrow(?), but no one wants to move forward with the most simple of modifications to make it easier to implement accessibility. The most basic of things to do would be to update the JavaDocs for the API to say:
"NOTE: you should always include an AttributeModifier/Appender (or roll your own implementation) to include the title attribute on every link. here's some examples, etc"
Or would that be too much bloat as well? Steve On 28 Oct 2008, at 15:35, Martijn Dashorst wrote:
There are lots of ways of making accessibility happening, but throwing more arguments to constructors isn't one of 'm. Ever took a short look at DDC? Instead of taking this narrow vision, perhaps start a discussion of how we can make accessibility easy to implement, while not raping our API?

Its section 13.1 of the accessibility document!Yes you can add it manually, but you can do many things manually. If the constructor is there it allows people to automatically take advantage of it.If you don't manually add it, you won't get a title on your link.Come on, lets get some accessibility happening. Then we can tout Wicket asbeing a accessible-by-design as well!
