Hi list, Something I've been pondering - how best to handle buttons and other purely functional content residing within a block of selected text? Often a user will select a bunch of text and get something like:
> Some Headingminimiseclose > Some text etc etc. I was thinking about adding JS mouse drag detection to hide "minimise" and "close" (let's say they're <a> elements) when the user is mouse-selecting text, but it would fail if a user used the text cursor to select. That aside, I'm iffy about the usability implications of this. Another idea I had would be to simply wrap the buttons in something that is meaningful to most text editors (like a <p> or suffixing them with a <br />). I'm curious how others might approach this problem. The goal is elegant text selection. - James ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
