There are lots of ways of making accessibility happening, but throwing more arguments to constructors isn't one of 'm. Ever took a short look at DDC? Instead of taking this narrow vision, perhaps start a discussion of how we can make accessibility easy to implement, while not raping our API?

What are you referring to when you say DDC? The Dewey Decimal System? Used by pretty much every library around the world making it really easy to find books? I'd call that accessible. So my vision for wanting to enforce a bit of accessibility on the web is narrow(?), but no one wants to

lol ok agreed, DropDownChoice is far over the top, but someone let all those methods get through. Perhaps its time to start rolling some up and deprecating others. And getting some examples happening about how best to use the DropDownChoice component. On 28 Oct 2008, at 15:50, James

For the Javadoc? (please stop being so vague!) No worries, I'll do this up and submit it into a general accessibility Javadoc improvement Jira ticket. Steve On 28 Oct 2008, at 15:57, Martijn Dashorst wrote: On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 4:48 PM, Steve Swinsburg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So

I don't think Martijn is intentionally being vague. DDC is a common abbreviation for DropDownChoice among folks within the Wicket community. As for the request for a patch, that's the best way to get your code suggestions merged into the codebase, providing a patch. Please make sure you

Well the last post was unclear about which patch he was referring to (Javadoc or codebase). From the previous discussions, it's clear that a patch for a new constructor won't be considered. I will, however, get some information to extend the Javadocs and submit that. Javadco improvement

I don't understand why you keep insisting that a title attribute should always be included in an anchor. In most cases the text within the anchor tag is enough information for what the purpose of the link is, certainly if you think a minute about that text. In such cases a title attribute will
