--- Comment #6 from Cacycle <[email protected]> 2009-08-09 20:14:19 UTC --- Thanks for the toolbar ids :-) >> 1. All parents of container elements > I see no need for this. If the child element has an ID, getting its parent is easy. I have actually suggested this for exactly the opposite direction: to be ably to select child elements without an ID, starting from their container. Therefore, this request still stands. Also, any DOM traversing is easily broken by future changes to the skin. I will try to compile a list of elements and post them here. Requesting IDs when they are needed is not practicable as explained above. At a later stage, when vector is already in wide use, any generally applicable script would have to use a non-ID-based workaround for backward compatibility. Mediawiki is widely used on the internet as well as in (company) intranets and most other sides due not regularly update their skins as Wikipedia does. As most workarounds are time and code consuming and might be easily broken by routine changes in the skin, we have to anticipate and label important elements now. Moreover, I do not see much reason not to add IDs generously, the effect on page size would be negligible, as explained above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
