Item12124: Pass class and id attributes to LOGIN and LOGOUT macros

In order to get the generated link picked up by javascript, a class or id should be added to the link.

Change to LoginManager:

sub _LOGIN {

    #my( $session, $params, $topic, $web ) = @_;
    my $session = shift;
    my $this    = $session->getLoginManager();
    
    return '' if $session->inContext('authenticated');

    my $url = $this->loginUrl();
    my $params = shift; 
    
    if ($url) {
        my $text = $session->templates->expandTemplate('LOG_IN');
        return CGI::a( { href => $url, $params->stringify() }, $text );
    }
    return '';
}

and so on.

Only caveat is using this method you cannot pass data-xxx values because Foswiki::Attrs does not handle hyphens well for this case.

Less trouble is to achieve this with a container element (span) to access the link.

This brings problems in CSS because accessor > a no longer works if a span is inbetween.

i don't understand, so I hope you do

The CSS hierarchy is sensitive to the container ordering. If you add a span, then the element order changes and the css attributes are missed.
