Closed rm1-uiuc closed 7 months ago

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Technology Services Accessibility Testing team conducted an Accessibility Review of Sympa on September 25, 2023 and found 26 issues that need to be fixed to make the interface accessible for visual impaired users.

Version

6.2.72

Installation method

Source Package

Expected behavior

Role must have a required parent role using the HTML DOM structure or the ARIA-OWNS attribute. Parent/child relationships are used by assistive technologies for computing the number of items owned by a container and the position of an item (e.g. "third of five links").

Actual behavior

No parent role for ARIA roles.

Steps to reproduce

Sympa Accessibility Issue - 13 - was determined by an Automation Tool Evaluation using AInspector and Siteimprove Accessibility Checkers as automated accessibility evaluation tools.

After running these automation tools the following issue was identified:

Role must have a required parent role using the HTML DOM structure or the ARIA-OWNS attribute. Parent/child relationships are used by assistive technologies for computing the number of items owned by a container and the position of an item (e.g. "third of five links"). The ROW role requires a parent GRID, ROWGROUP, TABLE or TREEGRID role, check your HTML DOM structure to ensure an ancestor element or an ARIA-OWNS attributes identifies a required parent role.

Hi @rm1-uiuc ,

As far as I could confirm, in the presented page ($wwsympa_url/review/$list/owner) the all elements with row role (<div class="row" role="row">) have the parent with table role (<fieldset role="table">).

If you found the problems in the other place, could you please point out the problem more precisely, e.g. pointing out an actual HTML element in the page that are damaging accessibility?

If there are no further developments, this issue will be closed for the present.
