Description
Issue Summary
Current state for "Details" link is not exposed to screen reader.
Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to the mentioned link under "View directory" heading
- Inspect the code of the mentioned link
- Notice that the current page state is not programmatically defined
Screenshot
Actual Results
The current state is not programmatically defined for the currently active “Details” page link.
As a result, screen reader users will not be aware of the currently active state of the link.
Expected Results
The screen reader should announce the current page state for the link.
Ensure that the current state of the active link is defined using the "aria-current" attribute with an appropriate token value.
Apply the following changes:
• Add the aria-current="page" attribute to <a> element of the link.
• Ensure that the "aria-current" attribute is updated as per user interaction using scripting.
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
