Observation Details
  • Device color buttons do not use semantic button element; no content given, no label given

    • assistive technology announces wrong colors

    • assistive technology announces button, group

  • While not a failure of this criterion, device color choice arguably should be a radio button group instead; as should storage option and "Einmalzahlung" option

  • "Handyversicherung" is displayed as radio button group but is not using proper radio button group syntax


All interactive elements that do not use the correct interactive HTML elements must be built in a way, that semantic information is provided and updates to semantic information are accessible via assistive technology. Building interactive components with incorrect HTML elements results in inaccessible content. These accessibility issues might occur:

  • Interactivity of element is not announced → user will not know, that element is interactive

  • Changes to states (e.g. collapsed/expanded) is not announced → user will not know of the change

  • Target resource is not announced → e.g. user will not know, where a link leads to

  • Interactive action is not announced → e.g. user will not know, that a dialog window will be opened

Issues in 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value often occur together with other issues e.g. in 2.1.1 Keyboard and 2.4.7 Focus Visible.
