Link missing a text alternative (IU Accessibility Mandate) #137

Closed mdalmau closed 6 months ago

mdalmau commented 8 months ago

6 occurrences in one page (https://newton.dlib.indiana.edu/page/chem-lab). There's an empty <a href> tag the precedes the section headings for each video. Deleting those should take care of the problem. If the empty links do something like facilitate anchoring, then the link will need an "alt" attribute with an explanation.

IU has a mandate that all web sites published on IU servers must meet WCAG I and II Accessibility requirements. If the requirements are NOT met, sites will be taken down. To learn more about this initiative, visit the Digital Strategy Initiative web site.

@tubesoft : At the Newton meeting today, Bill said you would be working on these accessibility issues. I requested SiteImprove access for you. Once you have access, you will login using your @iu credentials. If you want to read more about SIteImprove and accessibility, LOGIN to the KB and start here.

Could you have a look at this issue and confirm it's something you can fix? Once you confirm, we can figure out a testing workflow.

These six <a href=""> tags do not actually function anything. For example, <a href="#gold"> is for jumping to <xxx name="gold"> in the same page, but there are no destinations corresponding to <a href="#gold">. Therefore, I will simply delete them.

Since this issue is now part of https://github.com/IUBLibTech/newton_chymistry/pull/146, I will mark this issue as "done" so I can better see the remaining accessibility issues!
