Help Center: Main landmark incorrectly wraps the entire page content

XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      The <main> element incorrectly wraps the entire page content.

      Test URL

      https://jsma11ytest.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open the Test Portal page on the JSM Cloud instance.
      2. Use a screen reader to navigate through the page landmarks: press the “R” key in JAWS, the “D” key in NVDA, or Control + Option + Command + N in VoiceOver.
      3. Observe that the entire page content is included within the main landmark region, which is incorrect.

      Actual Results

      The entire page structure, including the header, navigation links, and primary content area, is wrapped within the <main> element. As a result, screen reader users might not be able to easily identify and navigate between different landmark regions.

      Expected Results

      Ensure that the landmark regions on the page are programmatically defined to support screen reader users.

      In this case, only the primary content should be placed within the <main> element. The header and navigation links should be located outside the <main> region and marked appropriately using other semantic elements.

      Workaround
