[twitter-dev] Text-only Tweet link

2010-11-21 Thread Ian
Hi,

I run a site called textise.net that converts web pages into text.
This is used by many kinds of people, including the blind and
partially-blind.

I'd like to add a Tweet link to the text-only pages but, for obvious
reasons, I don't want to display an image (button).

I've been able to display text by removing the class=twitter-share-
button but now find that the tweet opens full-screen and without the
page title or data-text, i.e. the default tweet consists of the
shortened URL only.

Is there something I should be doing differently?

Thanks!

Hey Ian,

Cool to see someone observing standards that count and helping with 
screen-readers. You could use links vs. images or roll your own. If you want 
help on this I'll help you [obviously free of charge]. This makes me think.

Best,
