    Hello again – The map is working fine but jquery colorbox is causing accessibility problems. I am trying to make this website more Accessible (for special needs users) and the jquery colorbox code is throwing 3 errors by having 3 buttons with no label. I am using the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool and it throws 3 fatal errors for these 3 blank buttons. Code here:

    <button type=”button” id=”cboxPrevious”></button>
    <button type=”button” id=”cboxNext”></button>
    <button id=”cboxSlideshow”></button>

    Is the only way to fix this to remove the Interactive map in lightbox option? But I don’t really want to do that.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,
    Fixing that would require updating the lightbox/colorbox library. Obviously, if the new version has that fixed. However, depending on the type/scope of changes in the new version that may cause a whole set of new problems. Long story short – we’ll have a look and hopefully, it’s a reasonable amount of work, but before we check I can’t promise anything.

    Hello – Thanks for your reply. I’m not sure the code author knows about this bug so I just emailed him at [email protected]. Someone else noticed this about 2 years ago so commented out the code but I can’t do that as I want the functionality. =>
