Broken screen reader skip link
-
Hi
I am having to try and retrospectively ensure that our Town Council website meets accessibility requirements due to new legislation in the UK from this week.
I am checking it using Wave accessibility checker and there are a number of issues arising but there are two actual errors that I haven’t been able to resolve…
The first is that I am getting a ‘Broken Skip Link’ error. THis relates to the fact that although there is a screen reader skip link in the theme, it is not accessible by using the tab key. Any suggestions how this might be fixed?<a class="screen-reader-text skip-link" href="#content"> Skip to content </a>
THe second issue is that 2 ‘Empty Links’ are being reported – these are due to the inclusion of:
<a href="javascript:;" id="fancybox-left"> <span class="fancy-ico" id="fancybox-left-ico"> </a> Redundant linkEmpty link <a href="javascript:;" id="fancybox-right"> <span class="fancy-ico" id="fancybox-right-ico"> </a>
…at the bottom of every page. I realise that this is due to fancybox but any ideas how this might be fixed? I don’t think I am even using fancybox on the site…
Thanks!The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
