Profile settings : Description list is malformed

    XMLWordPrintable

    Description

      Issue Summary

      On the "Profile settings" page, the description lists in the "Details" and "Preferences" sections are malformed.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate onto the above mentioned page.
      2. Navigate onto the mentioned instances and inspect their code.
      3. Observe that the description list semantics are malformed.

      Screenshot

      Actual Results

      Each key and value pair in the "Details" and "Preferences" section uses separate <dl> element. That is, there is a new <dl> for every <dt> and <dd> element, rather than one <dl> for all of the description list. As a result, users of a screen reader will not be able to understand the page's content structure.

      Expected Results

      Mark up the description list using <dl>, <dt>, and <dd>. Make sure that each set of list items is contained in a single <dl>, contain each individual term within <dt> tags and each description within <dd> tags. Only use separate <dl> tags when the list items are contained logically and visually in separate, distinct lists.

      Code Snippet

      <dl>
      <dt>Page Size:</dt>
      <dd>50</dd>
      <dt>Email Type:</dt>
      <dd>HTML</dd>
      ...
      </dl>

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
