- Navigate to the interactive elements associated “Humboldt", “Mariposa” and “Mendocino” text elements and activate any of it.

Screenshot

Actual Results
The “Key”, “Name”, “Created” and so on content are visually communicated as being key and value pairs. However, this structure has not been programmatically defined as description list.
As a result, screen reader users will not be able to understand the modal dialog content structure efficiently.
Expected Results
Key and value pairs must use description list semantics to communicate the relationship between terms and their descriptions.
Apply the following changes:
- Mark up the description list using <dl>, <dt>, and <dd>.
- Make sure that each set of list items is contained in a single <dl>, contain each individual term within <dt> tags and each description within <dd> tags.
- Only use separate <dl> tags when the list items are contained logically and visually in separate, distinct lists.
Code Snippet:
<dl> <dt>Key</dt> <dd>CALITSM-2</dd> <dt>Name</dt> <dd>Humboldt</dd> </dl>
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
