About AbstractLink

2011-01-21 Thread Heitor Machado
Hi all,

I noticed some days ago that the AbstractLink component when disabled,
render itself as a span.
Is there some especific motivation for that ?

I´m asking because I think that a component/element does not have to change
itself in that way, its suposed to be a responsability of its holder, and
any way, why a span ? All applications should render a span instead of an
anchor when that anchor was disabled? Could I perhaps change it´s css class
and strip its actions ? Or nor even render it ?

Of course we can override the disableLink of AbstractLink (this is the
method that does the magic), but it becomes a problem because now we *have*
to do it.
One of the characteristics that I like most in wicket is freedom, I can use
whatever css and javascript the way I want, I can model my application in
any way I like it, and this is a point of advantage of wicket over other
frameworks, wicket is not pervasive, and the way that method is wrote is
very pervasive.

Cheers
Heitor

Very nice, tanks Jeremy, but the main question is not about SPANs X DIVs, or
whatever. And even with this nice snipet, should all disabled links in my
app appear with DIVs ? Without exceptions ?
