XMLWordPrintable

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Issue Summary

      General - The element uses device-dependent event handlers and is therefore not accessible by keyboard alone.
      Name of the element: Comment link
      Location of the element: In the summary table, this link is relevant to #1
      Additional details:
      A tooltip content appears on hovering the comment link. But keyboard users are not able to get the tooltip as the link uses a hover event to display the tooltip content.

      BACKGROUND:
      Some people cannot use a mouse due to vision or motor disabilities. Content that can be operated with a mouse must also be made operable with a keyboard. When content is operable through a keyboard, it becomes operable by a variety of assistive technologies such as speech input software, sip-and-puff software, on-screen keyboards, scanning software, and alternate keyboards.
