Actual Results

As a result screen reader and keyboard users won't be able to interact with the functionality and Information.
Additionally the tooltip content is coded at the end of the source code inappropriately.
Expected Results
Make sure that the tooltip functionality is accessible for all users.
Apply following changes:
- Code "Lowest" and "Medium" buttons using <button> or <div role="button" tabindex="0" ..> elements.
- Provide state for button using aria-expanded="" attribute. Make sure that the value of attribute changes from "true" to "false" and "false" to "true"on interaction.
- Provide accessible names as "More info about medium priority" and "More info about lowest priority" for buttons using aria-label="" attribute.
- Provide role="status" for tooltip content.
- Place tooltip content below tooltip button.
- Associate tooltip content with tooltip button using id="" and aria-describedby="" attributes.
<button aria-describedby="tooltip1" aria-expanded="true" aria-label="More info about lowest priority></button> <div role="tooltip" id="tooltip1">Lowest - Trivial problem with little or no impact on progress.<div>
