accessibility issues
-
On the job-preview.php template, there are two links to the job. The first is the name of the job. And that’s an anchor link with the job name. The second is a link labeled “view”. This “view” has several issues.
- Redundant links: two links going to the same location.
- For some users it will be unclear if the heading link and the view link go to the same location or not. View sometimes means a lightbox popup.
- In the navigation tree for the page these are presented as two different names “Exemptions Clerk” and “View job: Exemptions Clerk” implying two differnet locations.
- If there are multiple of these “View” a voice user will say “click on View” and the computer won’t know what to click.
On the individual job page:
The position title should be a <h1>, it’s large, it looks like a heading, it’s logically the h1.
Description, Job Description should be <h2>.
Why are these styled with decorative underlines? If they are intended to be headings, make them proper headings. Do not add underline styles to text that is not a link, it’s quite confusing to users and they will think they can click on it.
