Section 508 - Empty Buttons

XMLWordPrintable

      Summary

      A button is empty or has no value text. A <button> element is present that contains no text content (or alternative text), or an <input type="submit">, <input type="button">, or <input type="reset"> has an empty or missing value attribute.

      Empty buttons from the main dashboard:

      • <button aria-controls="transition-saved-for-later" data-aui-trigger="" class="onboarding-hotspot" resolved=""></button>
      • <button title="Remove from My Spaces" class="remove toggle-favourite aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-star" style=""></button>

      Why It Matters

      When navigating to a button, descriptive text must be presented to screen reader users to indicate the function of the button.

      How to Fix It

      Place text content within the <button> element or give the <input> element a value attribute.
