Symptoms

Mark-up for 'Add' button incorrect creating WCAG violation.

Home > Admissions > Maintain Applications:
The 'Add Row' button mark-up is different from every other button on the page. Looking at the source code, it is not using the "role=Button" mark-up in the anchor tag (announces as Link to screen reader) like the rest and instead of using a label, there's alt-text on an embedded image.

It is a WCAG violation because no other similar buttons (ie. 'Delete Row') are coded this way and it is in fact a Button and not a Link, so Role=Button needs to be added so it is announced as one.

Note: the reason why the "Andi Output" shows an error is because the control is not labeled properly and done through the 'Alt-Text'; However, the alt-text is output through screen reader.
