Current Issues & Workarounds
Jump to:
- Duplicate id values in different views
- Aria attributes with invalid values
- Certain pages lacking H1
- Focus goes to the search field on page load
- Font icons are not hidden from screen readers
- Controls to move between announcements is not keyboard accessible
Duplicate ID values in different views
Description
There are several instances of duplicate id values appearing in different views, which have the potential to create problems given the heavily scripted nature of OneCampus.
Affects
- Screen reader & other assistive technology users
Remediation Status
Request submitted for vendor to remove duplicate id values submitted
Aria attributes with invalid values
Description
Some ARIA attributes are set to have invalid values, for example having the initial empty ARIA attribute value: aria-expanded="" when valid values are "true" and "false."
Affects
- Screen reader & other assistive technology users
- Browser extension users
Remediation Status
Request for submitted for vendor to add valid aria attribute values submitted
Certain pages lacking H1
Description
Some views lack an H1. An H1 tag helps users identify the subject of a given page.
Affects
- Sighted users
- Screen reader & other assistive technology users
- Keyboard users
- Browser extension users
Workaround
Use additional context (previous page, other headings, links) to identify the purpose of the page.
Remediation Status
Request submitted for vendor to add h1 to all pages submitted
Focus goes to the search field on page load
Description
On some browsers/devices, focus immediately goes to the search bar within the header on page load. Screen reader users may miss navigation elements earlier in the tab order.
Affects
- Screen reader users
- Chrome users
- Firefox users on a Mac
Workaround
Screen reader users can tab back to navigate the main menu.
Remediation Status
Currently investigating local and/or vendor solutions.
Font icons are not hidden from screen readers
Description
Screen readers will read off the font icons.
Affects
- Screen reader users
Workaround
Very few users will encounter this minor annoyance. Disregard font icons that are read aloud (e.g., '\ea8f').
Remediation Status
Added aria-hidden=”true” to configurable icons. Request submitted for vendor to add aria-hidden=”true” to non-configurable font icons.
Controls to move between announcements is not keyboard accessible
Description
Keyboard users will not be able to navigate between announcements. Controls are links without href attribute so they are not really links.
Affects
- Keyboard users
Workaround
Select “View All” to display all the announcements in the Announcements Section.
Remediation Status
We've updated the website to display two announcements on desktop to minimize the need for the announcement controls. Additionally, a request was submitted for vendor to add href= ”” to announcement controls (or otherwise make them accessible)
Recently Remediated
Poor focus indicators for “Favorite” and “Remove Favorite” buttons
Description
Some buttons (including the “Favorite” star button and the “Remove Favorite” button) do not have sufficiently visible keyboard focus indicators.
Affects
- Low vision users
- Keyboard users
Remediation Status
Updated custom style sheet to provide more prominent focus on these elements.
