Removal Of TabIndex From Navigational Items

We have a legal requirement now to ensure that government related websites are ADA compliant to level AAA. In testing the site https://a2zpreview4.com it is apparent that the tabindex value on each of the menu items is causing an alert. Can these be removed? See screenshot https://snipboard.io/4UtTRK.jpg

Thanks

Hi Matt from Maine,

it was added to improve Accessibility. And with current version the only way to remove it, is to edit template code.


The tabindex attribute on an <a> (anchor) tag is all about accessibility and keyboard navigation. It determines if and when an element gets focused when a user presses the Tab key.

Indeed, when value is not "0", "1" or "-1" WAVE tool treat that as "Warning" problem.


In that case, I fully agree we have to make deeper investigation, and correct that in next update. I shared topic with developer team.
