Description Sarah Hong CLA 2013-02-14 23:33:55 EST
Screen reader does not see “Forgot Password?” link
Comment 1 Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2013-02-15 15:19:04 EST
What type of element is it? Is it a link element (i.e. <a> tag?)
Or is it a <div> that has been made to look like a link?

If it is a <div> then it will need to have the following attributes:
    role="link" tabindex=0

If it is an <a> then look to see if it somehow has a tabindex=-1 attribute set?
Comment 2 Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2013-02-15 15:51:05 EST
I see that it is an <a> and that adding tabindex=0 makes it traversable.

Since <a> tags are traversable by default, I wonder why we have to explicitly make this <a> traversable.

From Sarah> I've removed the aria-live attribute and committed it, so it should be good to go.

Looks good now, Sarah! Thanks!
