[Feat]: data-cc="c-settings": detach from button element

[alexanderloewe]

Description

Depending on the design of the website, you may not want to attach the data-cc="c-settings" to a button, so it would be very handy if c-settings would also fuktiomn on other elements like a button, e.g. on a span tag.

Proposed solution

data-cc="c-settings" detach from button element

Additional details

The most semantically and accesibly correct element to use for a button is a <button>, so I’d question why you want to use a <span> or anything else to do a Button’s job?

I agree with @benseven, but still will leave this up to the user.

[alexanderloewe]

Semantics is one thing, I agree with you.

But the practical world is another thing. In my opinion, it would make sens to leave it to the user on which tag he/she would like to use as a trigger for the popup.

Do users browsing with assistive technology - for example a screen reader - not live in ’the practical world’? Indeed, such a user can make no practical use of a cookie consent mechanism unless it’s semantically marked up. This isn’t just a question of preference, it’s a question of actively excluding users by making poor engineering decisions. What’s the real-world circumstance in which you can’t use the same styling as you would on the <span> for the correct functional HTML element?
