Serious: This issue results in serious barriers for people with disabilities, and will partially prevent them from accessing fundamental features or content. People relying on assistive technologies will experience significant frustration as a result. Issues falling under this category are major problems, and remediation should be a priority.
Deque Analysis Summary
Community & Collection homepages have a total of 8 serious issues (not including color contrast which are handled in other tickets). These have been grouped into one ticket because they are similar issues on both pages.
- (ID 469493, 469644) (BOTH pages)
"Text should not be marked as a heading" on the "Permanent URI for this.." text on both pages. In both cases this text is an <h2>, but it is obviously not heading text. It probably should just be normal text (e.g. <p> tag or similar)
- (ID 469552, 469655) (BOTH pages) "Selected state of the element is missing or incorrect." on the currently selected browse by option (e.g. "Subcommunities and Collections" on Community homepage, "Recent Submission" on Collection homepage). In both cases, the selected option is displayed visually, but not noted in ARIA tags.
- (ID 470094, 470956)
(BOTH pages) "Link contrast is not at least 3:1 with surrounding text." on the Handle link at the top of both pages.
- (ID 470257)
Community homepage doesn't appear to have a <title>. It keeps the title of the last page. (This issue doesn't appear on the Collection hompage)
- (ID 470963)
"Content is lost at 320px width" occurs on the pagination bar (page numbers) when a large number of pages exist on a Collection homepage (e.g. https://demo7.dspace.org/collections/282164f5-d325-4740-8dd1-fa4d6d3e7200). Simply put, this bar doesn't collapse nice on small screens...likely it should add a "..." between most pages as the screen gets smaller.
NOTE: This is obviously a general pagination issue that can affect this same pagination bar on other pages.- UPDATE: No longer reproducible in 7.6.1
