Lack of compliance with legal requirements
Problems when using without vision
- The page title of the start page is "Norrbottens museum - Norrbottens museum".
- The page title does not deviate from the requirement but a recommendation is to make it clear that the user is on the home page.
- There are tables that lack caption elements. The content of the caption provides the table with a description.
- There are cases of natural headings.
- There are headers that are hidden from sighted users that should be visible.
- There are headings that have correct heading structure but not correct visual order.
- Among the tested pages there are a large number of examples where the CSS pseudo elements ::before and ::after are used to create content.
- The menu that can be folded out from the header lacks the landmark role "Navigation".
- Any of the links that can be dropped under the "More from the museum" link represent the current page and lack both visibility and information for screen reader users about it.
- There are headings that violate the heading hierarchy.
- There is a link-like button in a modal dialog that informs that it is clickable using color alone.
- There are six link-like buttons that have a button text that is black and there is no information that the buttons are clickable that is not just color.
- There are links in the menu that should be supplemented with a visual difference because not all text in the dropdown area is clickable.
- There are three tabs that have a slightly unclear mark that they are clickable, here we suggest to change the appearance to look like tabs.
- There are link texts with the color #c61016 and the closest text to the links is the date preceding the links which have the color #404040 which gives a contrast difference of 1,7:1 which is below the limit value of 3,0:1.
- There are links that get keyboard focus or that the mouse cursor is moved over the links and an arrow appears, but that is not enough, it must be displayed permanently.
- There are links where it is not apparent that it is a link until it gets focus.
- There are button icons that are missing information for screen reader users.
- There are button icons that have information for screen reader users, provided in English.
- There are links in the main menu with link texts, all but one of which are in a language other than the main language.
- All of these links lack information for screen reader users that they have link texts that differ/may differ from the main language.
- There is a "Close" button that appears when the menu folds out that cannot be reached with the keyboard.
- It is not possible to exit the date picker without selecting a date or activating the "Clear" button, with one exception the ESC key.
- There are filter parameters that change the page's content, which do not automatically convey it to the screen reader.
- After each new search on the page, a status message is displayed about how many search hits the search generated.
- However, this does not work effectively together with a screen reader as the status message is not read out automatically and without the focus needing to be on the message.
- There are link texts in Chinese and Arabic that the screen reader NVDA cannot read, these should be supplemented with an alternative link text.
- There are two input fields for dates as one of the filter options which, when entered, change the content of the page.
