    Hello,

    A client of ours has recently had some accessibility failures that come from the plug-in, it would be great if these could be investigated in a future release.
    UK law now states that public websites should meet WCAG2.1 – meaning we would have to investigate in an alternative solution.

    Issues:
    1.) Tooltips are not accessible from the keyboard – this occurs throughout the site where Glossary items appear, and on the Glossary Archive list – when navigating with a keyboard, tooltips do not appear.
    2.) On the Glossary Archive List – There is a role of “tabpanel” on the “#glossaryList” element, whereas the child elements are part of a list, and are not “tabs” nor do they have a “tab” role.

    Kind regards,
    Connect.

    For now, accessibility features available only in paid versions, but we are planning to implement them in the Free version in the nearest future.

    Hi,

    I’m sorry to say I don’t believe this has resolved issue 2. There are still elements with role=tablist must contain or own an element with role=tab.

    Thanks

    We’ve added the missing role=tab for the elements inside the tablist. Please let us know it that works.
