Web page elements provide the necessary role, state, and value information to assistive technologies.
Exceptions:
- The dropdown menu item “Applicants” in the header does not have the correct role and value for “ARIA”. When navigating with the keyboard, the links in the hidden part are accessible but not visually visible. This results in a mismatch between keyboard focus and visual representation.
- Search filters on the web pages “Research at Divisions”, “Study Quality and Development” are not available to screen reader users. The filtering functionality does not use the standard selection elements, which makes it difficult to understand when the filter is selected, and the selection functionality itself does not work properly.
- Selecting a tab (e.g. on the “Structure” page – “Rector”, “Education”, “Research”, etc… ), each category is displayed as a “Link” and the user expects a new page to open. However, when the link is activated, the information at the bottom/side of the page changes but the screen reader focus stays in the same place, which may give the impression that the link is not working. The problem occurs on “Structure”, “Related Institutions”, “Honorary Members”, “Sustainability”, “R&D&I KTU”, “Study Quality and Development”, “Study Process” web pages
- The button element is empty or has no text value:
- Slider / Carousel control buttons (arrow icons) in the “Rectorate” section of the “About KTU” web page
- Header icon in the mobile menu (Burger menu)
- The iframe that displays maps in Google Maps does not have a title attribute on the “Research at Divisions”, “Lifelong Learning” and an Event pages.
- Various web pages use the tabs component but lack appropriate ARIA roles and states. As a result, they may not be accessible to users of some assistive technologies.
