Subject: What to do with buttons when a user copies text from a page.
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

Solution ⬠good structure of content, so user may easily select only text he
need. Wisely use spaces and problem disappears.
