Video: Improving Accessibility of Navigation Menu SVGs for Screen Readers | Loom
Description: The SVGs used for collapsing and expanding in the navigation are currently not hidden from assistive technologies. As a result, they are being announced to screen reader users (see video for an example ). That is an issue with 1.1.1 Non Text Content.
Expected Behavior: The SVGs should be hidden from assistive technologies by applying aria-hidden="true".
Impact: This issue negatively impacts accessibility, as it creates noise for screen reader users and fails to comply with WCAG 1.1.1. Non Text Content
Suggested Fix: Add aria-hidden="true" to the SVGs to ensure they are not exposed to assistive technologies.
Kind Regards,
