Priority: Critical Low Page: Kids-Watch Observation Permalink

Observation Details

The checkmark and cross icons in data table "Kids Watches im Vergleich" have no accessible text alternative set. As the icon's purpose is crucial to understanding the content, text alternatives must be present and accessible. The code structure for the icons is as follows:

<span class="...">
  <span class="..." aria-hidden="true">
    <svg
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
      width="64.001"
      height="64"
      viewBox="0 0 64 64"
      role="img"
      class="..."
      focusable="false"
    >
      <path fill="#262626" d="..."></path>
    </svg>
  </span>
</span>

Observations:

  • Icon parent uses aria-hidden="true"

  • Icon has no accessible name as it misses the <title> element

  • Icon uses focusable="false", which is not needed as SVGs are non-focusable elements

Remediation Notes

Ensure, the icons use purpose equivalent text alternatives. Text alternative wording is dependent on the table header column wording as well. Possible text alternatives could be "Ja" for checkmark icon and "Nein" for cross icon. Ensure, wording matches the wording of table header column.
