Description Neal Timpe

2011-10-28 16:55:56 EDT

Build Identifier: 3.1 and 3.6

The for="hideanchor" element in this code sample violates 4.1b in the w3c accessibility checklist. It does not provide descriptive text in label elements.

<td id="psubTopicsSearch" class="active" nowrap="" onmouseover="highlightitem(this)">
<font size="-1">
<a id="subTopicsSearch" class="hight" href="javascript://needModal" onfocus="highlightitem(this.parentNode.parentNode)" tabindex="4" title="Search this topic and subtopics">Search this topic and subtopics</a>
</font>
<label id="searchLabela" accesskey="h" for="hideanchor"></label>
<a id="hideanchor" href="javascript:void window.location.reload();"> </a>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an eclipse page
2. Use Firebug to focus on the code in the TOC when the search and print table
pops up.

Hi Steve, I can't find the hideanchor label in http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp.

I'm confident that it is an IEHS issue.
