 * I use an automated accessibility checker called Siteimprove to keep tabs on issues
   with my websites, and I noticed a couple of biggies with this plugin, unfortunately:
 * 1) Input field has no description
    The checkbox next to “yes, i accept your privacy
   policy” isn’t labeled, or marked by aria-labelledby. [report from siteimprove](https://my2.siteimprove.com/Inspector/473035/Accessibility/Page?pageId=22656539416&impmd=GBXGDGIFJJABIHIIAUFJ#/Criterion/1.3.1/Check/6)
 * 2) Label is not connected to a form control
    The label on “yes, i accept your
   privacy policy” doesn’t reference an existing id on the checkbox. [report from siteimprove](https://my2.siteimprove.com/Inspector/473035/Accessibility/Page?pageId=22656539416&impmd=GBXGDGIFJJABIHIIAUFJ#/Criterion/1.3.1/Check/35)
 * 3) Missing button in form
    The form has a link, not an actual semantic <button
   >, for submitting, which isn’t accessible. [report from siteimprove](https://my2.siteimprove.com/Inspector/473035/Accessibility/Page?pageId=22656539416&impmd=GBXGDGIFJJABIHIIAUFJ#/Criterion/3.2.2/Check/52)
 * I was wondering if you could take a look at these and make fixes to the plugin?
   I’d made fixes myself, but then they get overwritten every time I update. 🙂 
   Thank you

 * Hi, thanks for the feedback. If you would like to make the changes and send me
   the code, as long as it is suitable I am happy to include it in the code.
 * As for the button, yes it is not an actual form button. A few years ago I adopted
   this abandoned plugin to keep it alive. That is how the original author had it
   functioning. I have no objection to it becoming a real button as long as there
   are no knock-on effects.
 * I look forward to your contribution.

 * My apologies for not getting back!
 * Try this out, working on my end:
 * includes/emailpetition.php
 * line 272 is originally:
    `<a name="' . $petition->id . '" class="dk-speakout-
   submit"><span>' . stripslashes( esc_html( $options['button_text'] ) ) . '</span
   ></a>`
 * CHANGE IT to:
    `<button name="' . $petition->id . '" class="dk-speakout-submit"
   >' . stripslashes( esc_html( $options['button_text'] ) ) . '</button>`
