271033 - Checkboxes and Radio Buttons should precede text

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Admin/Editor Tools, defect)

Description

[alanjstr]

The usual standard is that the radio button comes before the text that it
applies to, not after.

This is how it's been done across all of update. I'm not breaking consistency at
this time.

In fact, this bug unless the entire site is matched to it, is wontfix.

Comment 3

Well, the display of that screen looks really awful that way.   Take a look at
Bugzilla.

Fine, I'll change this to the whole site.

Checkboxes on the right of text, radio buttons on the right of text ... doesn't
look right to me.

Wolf would you please not WONTFIX things even if you think more work is
involved, the fact is, that even if its not done on the entire site, the fact
that usual practice dictates this.

And iirc accessability reasons highly suggest it mean we should do it everywhere
we can....lets try not to have a "war" or a [quote]game[/quote] like in Bug
246945 Please, its only irritating to everyone involved.

Alan, if you need help with some of this, can you point me to a cvs directory
(or specific files) to touch up and I'll do it, I dont currently checkout
update, but I can if it helps get this fixed faster.

I said, all or nothing. The summary was then changed to reflect all, I didn't
wontfix the bug again after that. Though the summary needs to be modified again,
as a checkbox isn't a radio button. :-)

In case I haven't been clear, a patch to fix this is welcome. :-) CVS code is on
the trunk under webtools/update/

BTW, As the screenshot shows, the radio buttons for approval are on the left.
:-) As I was poking this file last night for another bug they got moved.

Reassigning bug to Callek, so he doesn't lose it. As he's interested in working
on some of it.
Though if somebody else wants to work on it before he gets to it, he says
they're free to do so.
