      Actual Results

      The Information on the page such as “Subscribe to updates” & “Scheduled for”, etc is coded via CSS ::before & ::after pseudo elements. So when user disable the CSS or override with their own custom styles these elements will become inaccessible for users. It is not a best practice to code Informative content via CSS.

      Expected Results

      Code the Information such as “Subscribe to updates” & “Scheduled for”, etc via HTML instead of CSS.

      The textual Information on the page should be always coded via HTML. So even though user disables the styles & override them the Information would still be accessible to the users. The CSS should be only used to provide presentation to the page.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
