Text-only Tweet link

[Ian]

Hi,

I run a site called textise.net that converts web pages into text.
This is used by many kinds of people, including the blind and
partially-blind.

I'd like to add a Tweet link to the text-only pages but, for obvious
reasons, I don't want to display an image (button).

I've been able to display text by removing the class="twitter-share-
button" but now find that the tweet opens full-screen and without the
page title or data-text, i.e. the default tweet consists of the
shortened URL only.

Is there something I should be doing differently?

Thanks!

Hey Ian,

Cool to see someone observing standards that count and helping with screen-readers. You could use links vs. images or roll your own. If you want help on this I'll help you [obviously free of charge]. This makes me think.

Best,

Hi Edward,

Thanks for the offer of help.

You'll see the problem if you view the Textised version of this very
page ->

http://www.textise.net/showText.aspx?strURL=http%3A//groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/44f27819669d4d62%3Ffwc%3D1%26pli%3D1

The "Share via Twitter" link (at the top) works but, as I mentioned,
it opens full screen and with no text (page title or whatever) before
the shortened URL. On the other hand, the Tweet button on my home page
(http://www.textise.net) works fine because I've left the button class
in.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Ian

Check out the query string parameters: <a href="http://twitter.com/share">Tweet</a>

if you use these you can do "text-only". what are the reqs? just not open full window? send me what you need and i'll set it up.
