Shouldn't all links have alt text for non link browsers?Seems a bit redundant perhaps?
Thanks, I know what he wants, I'm just questioning the necessity to add a tooltip at all - the Like button can only be interpreted one of a few ways.I believe he's talking about the "title" attribute of <a> of the "Like" link.
<a href="#" title="Hello there">Hi</a>
What he wants is.
<a href="-Likelink-" title="Do you like this?">Like</a>
Probably completely unrelated, but:
My plan is to have a subforum to vote on things, and based on information in another thread, it seems possible to have a special graphic on the first post in those threads in that subforum, perhaps I could use a "Vote" button instead of the Like. We may put a title on that button "Vote for this idea".
If that is possible, I don't code.
I'm sure you envision many types of people using XF.Seems a bit redundant perhaps?
I was intending my post to be taken a bit more abstractly, just to give idea that it could have other uses, in addition to the obvious "Do you Like me?", "Like this post?", "Hit me!" type text that could show up.yeah, this is unrelated.
Links? No.
It's images that need alt text.
Then why does the Reply link have a title attribute? I would think the Reply button can only be interpreted one of a few ways...Thanks, I know what he wants, I'm just questioning the necessity to add a tooltip at all - the Like button can only be interpreted one of a few ways.
The Reply link said:Reply, quoting this message
Because it tells you it quotes the post when replying.Then why does the Reply link have a title attribute? I would think the Reply button can only be interpreted one of a few ways...
Precisely, that tooltip tells you about non-obvious functionality, which the Like button does not have.Because it tells you it quotes the post when replying.
the title attribute (tooltip) is only required if the link itself is not straightforward - needs extra information about the element
I recommend adding the tooltip. Reply has one - why not keep it consistent?
What would the tooltip say? "Gefällt mir?" I'm kind of with Kier on this one, that despite how many words it may take up, there's really no way to explain "like."it is about consistency, but also about language.
Considering that "Like" will contain more than just ONE word in other languages e.g. in german-language.
In german-language, for "Like" it will most probably say "Gefällt mir", so having an ALT-Text in order to explain the meaning of "Gefällt mir" would be beneficial.

Even if "Like" has been translated into that language?what I am trying to say: you might not need to explain the word "Like" in english language.
But there is a need to explain "Like" in other languages.
