    “accordions inner content should probably have a dynamically added role=”alert” when they open.” – Can you send information about this, I’ve not ever seen this in my research.

    Honestly I couldn’t find a reference for this either, again, I am not an expert but when testing the website using a screen reader, the specific screen reader I was using didn’t put focus on the inner content nor read it aloud, which made it hard to grasp what happened (maybe this is common, IDK) (I have found this Facebook FAQ which doesn’t use any aria attribute but has a link to the response element ID.

    I don’t think aria-role=”presentation” makes sense for a carousel that has images since those images would have alt text and are content.

    Agreed, this one was far fetched.

    I know this ticket was originally for the form element, but I’ve found other accessibility problems audition the website I’m now working on.

    So here go other problems I’ve noticed:
    – accordions inner content should probably have a dynamically added role=”alert” when they open.
    – SVG icons on buttons (there may be other affected elements) should have an empty alt to signify they are only decorative. (EDIT: alt attributes on SVG aren’t a thing, just use aria-role=”presentation” or aria-hidden=”true”)
    – Forms main error should probably have an aria-role=”alert”.

    EDIT: others I’ve found:
    – I feel like carousel galleries should use aria-role=”presentation” but I’m not sure if it may worsen the accessibility in some cases

    Thanks again 🙂
    P.S. I’m no accessibility expert, I just browsed the website using a screen reader and noted what stood out.

    I have also found 2 other accessibility problems with the plugin:

    – The form’s honeypot should be hidden using aria-hidden=”true” or similar. (I understand this may cause some bot to bypass it, but smart bot can also check CSS opacity and z-index)

    – Accordions block have a role=”presentation” while it contains sementic content. Ref: WCAG 1.3.1, F92
