In web ui
Open default search
Add an author in the authors list
=> the remove button has no role or label
Expected: button should have a role and label so that it can be conveyed by a screen reader
______________________________
Source Code
<span class="selectivity-multiple-selected-item" data-item-id="inProcess"><a class="preserve-white-space selectivity-multiple-selected-item-remove"><span class="selectivity-remove"></span></a>In Process</span>
Description
The button is missing both a role and an accessible name/label.
Element : Clear X button of every selected option in the following multi select combo boxes
Location: Tags when viewing a document, authors or tag search in default search
NVDA Is not narrating the Name and Role property of 'clear' button of each selected option under multi selected combo boxes.
Ex:
NVDA is narrating as
×In Process ×Completed
when its focus is on ' Clear/Remove ×In Process' button and 'Clear/ Remove ×Completed' button.
Recommendation to fix
RULE :
The name, role, value, states, and properties of user interface components MUST be programmatically determinable by assistive technologies.
HOW TO FIX:
To fix this issue, BOTH a ROLE and a NAME must be provided for the button.
Provide a ROLE by using one of the following techniques:
1. Use a native HTML <button> element.
<button>Apply now!</button>
2. Add role="button" to the custom button container.
<span role="button" class="apply-btn" aria-label="Apply Now!"></span>
Provide a NAME by using any of the following techniques:
1. Use the innertext of the <button> or role="button" element
<button>Apply now!</button>
<button class="apply-btn"><span class="sr-text">Apply now!</span></button>
2. Use a non-empty aria-label attribute on the <button> or role="button" element.
<button class="apply-btn" aria-label="Apply now!"></button>
<span role="button" class="apply-btn" aria-label="Apply Now!"></span>

BACKGROUND:
Every user interface control must have a role to convey what type of control it is for screen reader and other assistive technology users. Native HTML elements - such as <button>, <a>, <input>, <select> - already have a role, so nothing more needs to be done. If you create a custom version of a native HTML element or a custom control or widget that does not have a native HTML equivalent, you must add the relevant role(s) using ARIA as well as expected keyboard interactions.
Buttons must have discernible text that describes the button's function or action for screen reader and other assistive technology users.
