Touchscreen: Increase clickable area

If you need any help in filling out this wiki page, please visit our ILIAS Community FAQ. And please complete the metadata information in the right column after having created the page.

1 Initial Problem

Clickable areas around checkboxes embedded in tables are not easy to activate on a touchscreen. Is it possible to increase the sensitive area to the cell area? This would definitely increase the handling of multiple checkboxes on phone or tablet.

2 Conceptual Summary

It would be very desirable to have the checkbox surrounded by a <label>-element (or some other technology), that makes it a block inside the table. Many websites work like this, one could even click on related text to activate the checkbox. Now you have to point very precisely on that checkbox.
