977506 - Make the dashboard white-on-red counter easier to click

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 977505

(bugzilla.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Sandstone/Mozilla Skin, defect)

Description

[:Atoll]

When logged in and with pending needinfo? requests, on the Mozilla theme, I have a notification badge (bold white text, clickable positive integer, red rounded background) in the upper left of the page.

It is difficult to click, as only the number itself is clickable, and not the surrounding box as well.

As a side effect, this also improves usability on tablets, by making the entire badge clickable, rather than just its content text.

The following HTML alteration to the page phrases my request accurately but is not intended to necessarily be a fully-realized patch. I felt that the HTML change most correctly describes the improvement to clickability here.

<!-- before -->

<span id="badge" title="Flags requested of you: review (5) needinfo (8)">
  <a href="request.cgi?action=queue&amp;requestee=rsoderberg%40mozilla.com&amp;group=type">13</a>
</span>

<!-- after -->

<a href="request.cgi?action=queue&amp;requestee=rsoderberg%40mozilla.com&amp;group=type" id="badge" style="color: white;" title="Flags requested of you: review (5) needinfo (8)">13</a>
