go-button on quicksearch?

[stm999999999]

After updating my installations I get a ">" / "go!"-Button behind my search field - is there any way to delete this?

Hi!

Hm, at least not with CSS 2

I just updated SVN and gave that go-button a class name with which you can specifically address it with CSS.

The button was added because of accessibility reasons.

Is this addition just for 1.3? I don't see it updated in 1.2 branch.....

What is the issue with accessibility? If this is an issue, it would be nice to see in 1.2 so we can address the same thing for bp.

Yeah,thisis 1.3 only.

I didn't backport it to 1.3 because of the BC-impactit has. IMHO it's not worth backporting to 1.2...

something like display: none, right?

Seems right to me!

@ Garvin - what is the specific accessibility issue to using a button, and why is this such a problem to backport to 1.2? I really do not want to start a 1.3bp branch right now... but since we do have an option to display a quicksearch field in the bp navbar, I think we need to give this some thought.

It's simply that HTML forms without a submit button are thought to be not accessible, because a screenreader cannot "push" an input text button.

I dislike the backporting because somewhere we have to draw a line between 1.2 and 1.3, backporting is always hard because it increases the overhead for maintaining...
