All Boards sidebar navigation: Current element is not programmatically defined

XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      The link that is visually highlighted as currently relevant in the "Side navigation" section does not have a programmatically defined current page state.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate onto the above mentioned page (Boards -> View all boards).
      2. Navigate onto the mentioned instances and observe that one of the link is visually highlighted as currently relevant.
      3. Inspect its code.
      4. Observe that the current state is not programmatically defined.

      Expected Results

      Make sure that the current state is programmatically defined for the currently active link. Use “aria-current”. The possible specific values that “aria-current” accepts are “page”, “step”, “location”, “date”, “time”. As well, “true” and “false” can be used as a catch-all value to determine whether an element is current or not.

      Code snippet

      <a href="..." aria-current="page">Recently visited boards</a>

      Actual Results

      The visually highlighted as currently active link in the "Side navigation" section does not have a programmatically defined current state. This might mislead or confuse the Screen reader and Voice recognition users.
