XH 1.6: Replace<a href="#"> with more reasonable Elements

Post by cmb » Thu Sep 20, 2012 4:03 pm

Hello Community,

CMSimple_XH uses quite some <a href="#"> in admin mode to be able to support the :hover pseudo selector in IE6 (e.g. for the admin menu and the help icons in the config forms). But since XH 1.5 the back-end is not fully usable with IE6 anyway. So I suggest we replace the meaningless <a href="#"> with more appropriate elements. (cf. http://www.cmsimpleforum.com/viewtopic. ... 642#p29642)

For the backend we can suppose that an up to date browser is used. No need for IE6 support. Even for the front end IE6 necessity in Europe is <1%.
