Not really a Moo specific question but just something I've been
wondering lately..
Often you have navigation elements in some <ul> element with <li>'s
and <a> elements in it.
Sometimes (eg. for visual/layout/cross browser requirements) it's
necessary to use padding in the <li> elements or something. In any
case, the complete parent <li> is not the clickable area and what
happens is that the user explicitly has to click the <a>/text for the
'button' to work.

When applying some javascript/moo magic I can grab all needed <a>
elements, get the href and do whatever (eg. use xhr with history).
Regarding the buttons I then tend to add the click event to a parent
<li> element, because it gives a better experience to the user.
I kind of automatically check for a parent <li> element grouped by a
<nav> element to "know" it's indeed a button in some navigation block
(without the need for an extra css class) when scanning a whole page
to apply some stuff.

Does this sound familiar or is it just me?

My question? ... :) ... Any tips or "this is how I do this" stories? I
don't have a button example ready to demonstrate this... but will add
one tomorrow when I'm at the office.

Cheers
Rolf
