The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Technology Services Accessibility Testing team conducted an Accessibility Review of Sympa on September 25, 2023 and found 26 issues that need to be fixed to make the interface accessible for visual impaired users.
Version
6.2.72
Installation method
Source Package
Expected behavior
Element menus should not have ul tags so the html content is rendered correctly in order for the screen reader to properly read all content.
See attached accessibility review for more details.
Actual behavior
Element ul not allowed as child of element menu.
Steps to reproduce
Sympa Accessibility Issue - 25 - was determined by an Automation Tool Evaluation using AInspector and Siteimprove Accessibility Checkers as automated accessibility evaluation tools.
After running these automation tools the following issue was identified:
Element ul not allowed as child of element menu in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.).
HTML Code Validation
The purpose of code review is to make sure that the HTML follows the Document Type Declaration (DTD), which sets out the rules and grammar for the flavor of markup, thus enabling the browser to render the content accordingly. The HTML5 validator NuValidator was used in this evaluation. Code validation should be done to better conform with HTML standards and thus accessible coding practices. Although several of the errors uncovered by the Validator are minor, compliance means the site will operate as expected when used by assistive technology (AT) (WCAG 2.0 4.1.1 Parsing). Often, fixing one or two of those errors early on can resolve many of the errors flagged, since it has a waterfall effect.
