Actual Results

The mentioned links appears and functions like a tab/tabpanel interface but missing required ARIA role and attributes. As a result if interactive elements are missing required role and attributes then the functionality will not be exposed by screen reader software.

Expected Results

Fix this issue by using the following role and attributes:

• The element that serves as the container for the set of tabs should have role tablist.
• Each element(contained within the element with role tablist) that serves as a tab should have role as “tab”.
• Each element that contains the content panel for a tab has role tabpanel.
• Each element with role tab has the property aria-controls referring to its associated tabpanel element.
• The active tab element has the state aria-selected set to true and all other tab elements have it set to false.
• Each element with role tabpanel has the property aria-labelledby referring to its associated tab element.
• If the tablist element is vertically oriented, it has the property aria-orientation set to vertical. The default value of aria-orientation for a tablist element is horizontal.
• Set tabindex="-1" in the source code of inactive tabs. Ensure that these tabs have roving tabindex property.
