4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (A) Interactive element does not use correct semantic HTML

Priority: Critical Low Page: Android Betriebssystem Observation Permalink

Observation Details

Navigation links use <a href="#"> instead of semantic button element. Observations:

  • Improper use of href attribute

  • Use of title attribute

  • Multiple links have the same visible label "Mehr erfahren"; the first occurrence is in the "Sternstunde der Fotografie" slide in the hero section; as the visible label is e.g. used by users of speech recognition software, it is important to have unique link labels for every unique link target; using the same visible label implies the same link target

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.
