I am currently using the ANDI accessibility tool and have encountered an accessibility issue with the tooltip icons across my application.

The tool reports an "Aria-Hidden Alert" stating: "Element is focusable but has or is contained by [aria-hidden = true]."

I've noted that the HTML for these elements shows aria-hidden = true and focusable = false. I believe the focusable attribute should be set to true.

I have attempted to resolve this by directly removing aria-hidden = true and changing focusable to true. However, the Kendo code consistently seems to override my modifications, reverting them back.

I have included the following to help diagnose the issue:

  • A snapshot of the error.

  • The corresponding HTML snippet showing aria-hidden = true and focusable = false.

  • A link explaining the nature of this accessibility alert (https://www.ssa.gov/accessibility/andi/help/alerts.html?ariahidden).

Could you please advise on how to successfully override the Kendo code to correct this aria-hidden alert?

 

Thank you.
