Hi AaronW,
Here's a list of ways to get to the link/buttons that we discussed. You should be able to identify patterns in the data from this. The next lot I find I'll post up here also. (Mahara 15.04dev) 1. Content- > Profile -> Social media -> Create the social media accounts. When they display "Edit" and "Delete" are links disguised as buttons. 2. Content -> Files -> Upload the files -> The "Edit" and "Delete" buttons are links. 3. Content -> Journal -> Add new entries -> The "Edit and "Delete" I think they're buttons and they look like buttons. 4. Content -> Resume -> Education and employment -> Add (Either education history or employment histroy) -> The "Edit" and "Delete" buttons are links. 5. Content -> Resume -> Achievement -> Add (Certifications, accreditations and awards, Books and publications, Professional memberships) -> The "Edit" and "Delete" buttons are links. 6 . Content -> Resume -> Goals and skills -> The "Edit 'name' goal" is a link disguised a button 7. Content -> Plan -> New plan -> All the buttons are links. 8. Portfolio -> Pages -> "Edit Content and layout" and "Delete this page" buttons are links 9. Portfolio -> Collections -> Create new collections -> "Manage pages", "Edit title and description" and "Delete collection" are all buttons are links. 10. Portfolio -> Collections -> Copy a collection -> The "Copy page" buttons, are wrapped in <span></span> tags and not recgonised as a button easily. 11. Portfolio -> Collections -> The actual "New collection" button itself is a link, but has the appearance of a button. Also it is in the class "btn" which could be confusing. 12. Portfolio -> Collections -> The actual "Copy a collection" button itself is a link, but has the appearance of a button. Also it is in the class "btn" which could be confusing. 13. Portfolio -> Shared by me -> Edit access butons and Secret URLs all look like buttons but are links 14. Administration -> Configure site -> Licences -> All the "Edit" buttons are actually links and the "Delete" buttons are actually buttons. 15. Administration -> Configure site -> Pages -> "Edit content and layout" and "Delete" and both actually links but look like buttons. 16. Administration -> Configure site -> Collections -> Adding a collection -> then the "Done" is a link but disguised as a button. All other buttons at the bottom of a fom are actually buttons. However this is a link. 17. Just for comparison, Administration -> Configure site -> Cookie consent -> "Save changes" is a button in table data and not a link. 18. Administration -> Configure site -> File -> "Edit" and "Delete" look like buttons and are buttons. 19. Administation -> Users -> Site staff -> "Submit" button is a button, not a link. 20. Administration -> Institution -> Institution -> "Edit" is a button and is also displayed as a button. 21. Administration -> Extensions -> Allowed iframe sources -> "Edit" buttons are actually links and the "Delete" buttons are buttons. 22. On the Main page the Dashboard "Edit dashboard" button is actually a link and not a buton as it appears.

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.
