Actual Results

The current state is not programmatically defined for the currently active “All project types” and "All categories" links in navigation region below "Project types" and "Categories" sections.

As a result, screen reader users will not be aware of the currently active state of the link.

Actual Results

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.

Code Snippet

<a aria-current="page" rel="all" href="/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa?selectedProjectType=all">All project types</a> 

Workaround

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