Accessibility issue with Visforms: Ensures buttons have discernible text

More
4 years 5 months ago #7500 by rusasadmins
The search button used for front-end form data display fails to meet the accessibility requirement "Ensures buttons have discernible text."

Scanning a page with the Deque axe-tools browser plugin shows the following result:

Issue Description

Ensures buttons have discernible text
Element location

button[type="submit"]

Element source

<button type="submit" class="btn hasTooltip" title="" data-original-title="Search"> <span class="visicon-search"></span> </button>

To solve this violation, you need to...
Fix at least one (1) of these issues:

Element does not have inner text that is visible to screen readers

aria-label attribute does not exist or is empty

aria-labelledby attribute does not exist, references elements that do not exist or references elements that are empty

Element's default semantics were not overridden with role="none" or role="presentation"

Element has an empty title attribute

This could be fixed by adding a value to the "title" attribute for the button. For example, change:

<button type="submit" class="btn hasTooltip" title="" data-original-title="Search">
<span class="visicon-search"></span>
</button>

to

<button type="submit" class="btn hasTooltip" title="search" data-original-title="Search">
<span class="visicon-search"></span>
</button>

Can this be addressed in a future version of Visforms?

Hi,

I will take a look into this and if there are no complications I will address this in a future release.
