Description

WCAG

Some forms in PDF format are not fully accessible.

1.1.1 Describe in text all non-text content.

1.3.1 Specify the role of the different parts of the page

 

Errors that occur are not indicated in a way that is good for screen readers. When an update takes place on the page, it needs to be communicated to the screen reader, for example by marking the container that today summarizes the errors with, for example, aria-live.

4.1.3 Make sure assistive technology presents out-of-focus messages.

In services for applying for research funding, the part for specifying co-applicants is difficult to use with screen readers. The service's co-applicant add and remove functionality does not provide enough feedback to the screen reader when adding or removing lines.

4.1.3 Make sure assistive technology presents out-of-focus messages.

1.3.1 Specify in code what the different parts of the page have for role.

It needs to be clarified what is to be filled in and in what format the date is to be filled in.

3.3.2 Create clear and clickable field labels.

Forward and back buttons need to be better described for users of assistive devices. For example, a supporting text that describes what the next step is.

2.4.4 Create clear links.

For signature sections, the images for each signing option do not need to be read aloud. They should be outside the links.

2.4.4 Create clear links.

The file upload function has incorrectly marked code in some places. For example, after uploading a file, the field becomes a table where you can delete the file, which doesn't work well with screen readers.

4.1.1 Ensure that the code validates.
