Description Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2025-03-27 15:31:35 UTC
Across Koha's OAPC, links and buttons are generally very clear and contain suitable aria-label text.

However, on the ‘Details for’ pages, there are repeated ‘Browse shelf’ links that
require additional context to be clear.

Solution: Ensure that the meaning of all links and buttons is clear without relying on surrounding content:

  • For text links, hyperlink the descriptive part of the sentence. Keep link text 
    short and succinct so it can easily be identified and understood by screen 
    reader users
  • For buttons, add an aria label or aria-labelledby attribute to provide the 
    relevant context
