Description
Issue Summary
The label such as “Expand“, is provided for button and "Next" and "previous" is provided for the image link.
Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to the “Dashboard” menu pop-up link and activate it.
- Navigate to the “View system dashboard” link and activate it.
- Navigate to the mentioned instance.
- Inspect the code.
- Listen the screen reader’s announcement.
Actual Results
When users navigate to mentioned elements it is announcing as “Expand”, "Next", and "Previous" by screen reader users. As a result, screen reader users will not understand the purpose of the elements.
Expected Result
Every interactive element should have descriptive and logical accessible name which will help them to know the purpose of element and to interact with it effectively.
Hence we would recommend to update the aria label as “Next page“ and "Previous page".
