First problematic translation:

I want the text "Send us a comment" to look like a link, but trigger
a POST, so I put the text in a submit button and styled it.
Unfortunately the longer translations won't wrap that way.
Richard,
Another method is to create a transparent button image and place it
on top of the text (i.e. in a layer between the text and the viewer),
something like this:
Envoyez-nous un commentaire
name="sendcomment" />
/* make all three elements the same size & resizable */
div,
div p,
div input
{
font-size: 1em;
width: 10em;
height: 3em;
}
/* the div constrains the text & button */
div
{
position: relative;
}
/* superimpose the text & button within the div */
div p,
div input
{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
}

I just realized that last night before I sent it (hence the after thought disclaimer). It's a usability issue because Opera users will think they can click something when they can't. Can't rely on a title attribute of course thus I think the best option is to make the visible text more clear -- temporary solution, anyway. What I just did on my daughter's blog (http://sarahcherim.com/) is change the label text From: "Use PayPal to give Sarah some college money as a way of saying thanks and good luck!" To: "Click the dancing cow to give Sarah some college money with PayPal as a way of saying thanks and good luck! " And that way at least the what to do clue is visible to Opera users, and everyone else can get away with missing the cow and clicking the text so it's more like an enhancement. I had to do something. Still didn't add the legend, but I'll do that when I have more time to fool with it so it doesn't change the look. Just a thought. Cheers.

RE: [WSG] Triggering POSTs with links?
Ah, that makes a lot more sense, Mike. Thanks.
It's annoying that it doesn't work so well in Opera, but I'd rather give the
problem to Opera users than IE users. This also seems a much more sensible
approach. I guess I should contact Opera and see if we can't get this
'fixed'.
So now my code looks like this:
.container label.interaction {
font-size: 130%;
color: #e70;
background-color: #ff;
border: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
cursor: pointer;
}
Envoyez-nous un commentaire
I'm wondering whether to add a title attribute telling Opera users to click
the icon, or whether they'll figure it out.
Thanks all for the help.

Hi Mike, That's a nice trick.

Hi Sander, thanks for the feedback. I just checked in Opera 8.5 and it is even worst, the whole button area is clickable, which means much more than just the text.

RE: [WSG] Triggering POSTs with links?
Thanks, Nick.
I did have the attribute set already, but it doesn't seem to help. Here is
my code now:
Envianos un
comentario
And my CSS:
.container button.interaction {
font-size: 130%;
color: #e70;
background-color: #ff;
border: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left; /* for IE */
cursor: pointer;
max-width: 100%;
}
IE still truncates the French, rather than wrapping it. I will probably
have to resort to using , but that's far from ideal for boxes with
some flex to them or when users may have different fonts etc.

Re: [WSG] Triggering POSTs with links?
I don't know if this is important to you, but you should really use GET, not POST. POST is supposed to be used when you're actually doing something to a page like submitting data.
