5 // Action links are elements that are used to perform an in-page navigation or
6 // action (e.g. showing a dialog).
8 // They look like normal anchor (<a>) tags as their text color is blue. However,
9 // they're subtly different as they're not initially underlined (giving users a
10 // clue that underlined links navigate while action links don't).
12 // Action links look very similar to normal links when hovered (hand cursor,
13 // underlined). This gives the user an idea that clicking this link will do
14 // something similar to navigation but in the same page.
16 // They can be created in JavaScript like this:
18 // var link = document.createElement('a', 'action-link'); // Note second arg.
20 // or with a constructor like this:
22 // var link = new ActionLink();
24 // They can be used easily from HTML as well, like so:
26 // <a is="action-link">Click me!</a>
28 // NOTE: <action-link> and document.createElement('action-link') don't work.
