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

Buttons using link elements and vice versa, Link elements without text. Link elements without href attribute, with empty href attribute or using href attribute not for link target.

Including:

• "Preisübersicht anzeigen"

• "Tarif ändern"

• "Tarif entfernen"

• "Zurück" in "Handyankauf" dialog window

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.
