## Buttons
|
|
|
|
### Button type
|
|
|
|
Button tags requires a `type` attribute according to the [W3C HTML specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/the-button-element.html#dom-button-type).
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
// bad
|
|
<button></button>
|
|
|
|
// good
|
|
<button type="button"></button>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Button role
|
|
|
|
If an HTML element has an `onClick` handler but is not a button, it should have `role="button"`. This is [more accessible](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/button_role).
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
// bad
|
|
<div onClick="doSomething"></div>
|
|
|
|
// good
|
|
<div role="button" onClick="doSomething"></div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Links
|
|
|
|
### Blank target
|
|
|
|
Use `rel="noopener noreferrer"` whenever your links open in a new window, i.e. `target="_blank"`. This prevents a security vulnerability [documented by JitBit](https://www.jitbit.com/alexblog/256-targetblank---the-most-underestimated-vulnerability-ever/).
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
// bad
|
|
<a href="url" target="_blank"></a>
|
|
|
|
// good
|
|
<a href="url" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Fake links
|
|
|
|
**Do not use fake links.** Use a button tag if a link only invokes JavaScript click event handlers, which is more semantic.
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
// bad
|
|
<a class="js-do-something" href="#"></a>
|
|
|
|
// good
|
|
<button class="js-do-something" type="button"></button>
|
|
```
