508 Compliance Issue -Edit links on content page are not unique

Created on 15 February 2017, almost 8 years ago

Certain links do not contain unique link names for JAWS to announce. As an example within the “Content” screen, there are multiple “Edit” links present in a table. When the links are accessed JAWS announces “Edit link” without providing a unique link name to distinguish each link, instead of announcing as e.g. “Test Detail Page edit link”, “Test Image title edit link” etc.

This defect exists in IE 11 and Google Chrome version 55.0.2883.87 m.

Expected result: All links are expected to contain unique link names in order to distinguish between each link. In this instance JAWS is expected to announce e.g., “Test Detail Page edit link”, “Test Image title edit link” etc.

Reference: Section 508, Part 1194.21, user interface elements (d).

Notes:
• This defect also exists elsewhere within the application.
• This defect exists on a screen that is not accessible via a keyboard. The tester was forced to use the mouse to access this screen, which is not acceptable for a JAWS user.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open JAWS
2. Open Drupal
3. Use the Tab key to navigate to the “Manage” button and press Spacebar/Enter to select.
4. Use the mouse to select “Content” button.
5. Use the Tab key to navigate to the “Edit” links throughout the screen.
