Don't fake interactive areas

Read Original

This article discusses a common web development pitfall: creating UI elements that look interactive (like buttons with hover effects) but are not actually clickable. It explains why this is a poor user experience, provides visual examples and code snippets demonstrating the problem, and offers a fix by advocating for semantic HTML and styling the actual interactive elements instead of their wrappers.
