--- Comment #10 from [email protected] --- Hi Owen, I have contacted our Accessibility team at Catalyst and have received the following message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "First, I would make sure you're using the proper HTML. According to MDN, <h#> is a permitted child of <legend> and <caption>, but not of <label>. Instead, the <h#> would be the parent of <label>. Second, consider the context of the headings. According to W3C, "Headings communicate the organization of the content on the page" so yes I do think that headings can help screen reader users to have an overview of the website (https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/page-structure/headings/). However, headings should be used to identify sections of the page instead of providing name or specify title of an element. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/label "Placing heading elements within a <label> interferes with many kinds of assistive technology, because headings are commonly used as a navigation aid. If the label's text needs to be adjusted visually, use CSS classes applied to the <label> element instead." You can look at this link to see examples of "Making labels and legends headings" https://design-system.service.gov.uk/get-started/labels-legends-headings/"; ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Therefore, I am going to have another look at everything and keep headings where they are specific sections of the page, as this helps screen-readers navigate a webpage. However, if the element of the page doesn't seem to be a stand alone section, I will amend this to put it back to a legend, caption or label. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
