At AU IT, we are experiencing some technical problems that have not been addressed centrally yet. This means that editors can therefore disregard the following accessibility issues indicated by Siteimprove or other tools.

• Empty headings in the left sidebar menu or banner

  • An empty heading will be generated in left sidebar menus if the upper heading is not filled in.
  • An empty heading will be generated in the banner element if the heading is not filled in.

• Colour contrast is not sufficient

  • In general, there are issues when using white text on cyan backgrounds, as used on medarbejdere.au.dk, and green backgrounds with white text, as used on studerende.au.dk.

• Forms and input fields

  • All errors regarding forms and input fields (e.g. “Input fields and selection box missing description”, or "form elements must be grouped”).

• Loss of visual focus when navigating tabs

• ID elements are not unique

  • Page elements will receive the same div id if they are copied and used on the same page.

Upgrading to TYPO3 version 10 will solve

But until then – you can disregard these errors too

• Iframe lacks description
  • AU videos will be given a title/description field in TYPO3 backend
• Images lack alternative text
  • • Error on background images in focus fields and banner elements. An alt tag will not be sent out (nor an alt=””, which indicates a decorative image). This will be resolved in version 10, where it will also be possible to insert an alternative text.
• Image link without alternative text (only for news)
  • In the current news module, a link to a larger version of the image is automatically inserted, regardless of whether it is a decorative image, and an alternative text is therefore not added. It is not possible to opt out of opening the image in a larger version. This error has been solved in the new version 10 news module.
• HTML is used to format content (only applicable to problems with images)
  • A border of = "0" is used on all images. This is an error and will be removed in version 10
