Re: Is href="#" still necessary?
Hi all, I have just added a way of de-styling <button> tags so they look like plain links, as suggested.
Please use:
<button class="txp-reduced-ui">Button Text Here</button>Offline

Re: Is href="#" still necessary?
That works, thanks Phil. But also makes me think that we could put these common rules in some core textpattern.css rather than duplicating them in each theme. There is a number of class names (like not-ready or hidden) that are part of txp internal workflow.

Why ?
That would limit what an admin-theme author can or want to do.

Ha!

Slight objection to that class name it is already used on the login panel on the parent element for that language <select /> at the top. On the Write panel, a slightly different class – no-ui-button is used that does the same too (and again applied to the parent element

I have not found txp-reduced-ui-button in css, sorry if I have missed something.

How? Rules are overridable, and I’m not asking for a complete set of rules. It’s just pity to include, say, .not-ready or .hidden in each theme, given they (should) always act the same.

It was a naming suggestion (hence the name TBD)… :-) – knowing full well there was no button class that could be used.

OK, you can certainly have .busy, .not-ready and maybe .hidden for your shared stylesheet. And maybe another thing: the whole set of icons, worth about 50000 characters or ~50KB. I don’t think there is much more that can be worth sharing. Wrap all that in a minified core.css.

Re: Is href="#" still necessary?
Righto, I have changed the class name to now be .txp-reduced-ui-button as suggested by Philippe.

Thank you. Some possible clashes avoided!

The renewed preview button (now a <button />) is nice improvement, part. for keyboard users. Tabtabtab (or shift+tab…) to access the button, then press the space-bar and the action happens.
(There are a few other button-links that would benefit from this)

Oh, that’s a nice thing, the distrib size would benefit from it! May I suggest that you or Phil consider this possibility? But I doubt it’s the only intersection between 4-5 existing admin themes. Every time we adopt some ‘global’ change, like anchor-looking-button, it needs to be duplicated.

I’ve tried to transform Text/HTML preview switchers into buttons, but this breaks their style, so we need to bother Phil again. See above…

As a theme author, it is nearly always much easier and faster to add this or that element from scratch. In the case of today’s txp-reduced-ui-button button, over 90% of the work was already done. It took a little more time for the .caution button as the relevant colours were never intended for use on button and some tweaking was needed. Nobody would have died looking at that button in its more default styling.
