[Resolved] Search widget is not accessible

[Karen]

Thanks David! This looks better. It’s still getting the below error but I think ED said I could ignore it. I’m going to see if it’s a legit okay or not.

Awesome – let us know wha ED have to say. If they are happy with that, then we can start reviewing what we need to do in the Theme 🙂

[Karen]

Here’s what she said and this may have been for your code before this last update:

Mark it as “global ignore”. The reason is because he has added:

<a aria-label="Open Search Bar" role="button" href="#">

We’re modifying our rule for broken skip and anchor link to ignore links like this when role=”button” has been added. That will come in a future release of Accessibility Checker. For now ignoring the issue is fine.

Thats great, so it looks like for now, the solution i added to your site is good to go.
We will be working on the changes for the theme now.
Let me know if anything else is needed

[Karen]

Great, will do. And thank you!

You saw the GitHub link above too?

[David]

Yeah, I am subscribed to that GitHub topic.
