AODA - Empty button

Opened this issue · 1 comments

I'm getting a aoda error running Wave http://wave.webaim.org/

It's saying that the button is empty.

<button data-remodal-action="close" class="remodal-close">

Wave's reason for empty buttons

Empty button

What It Means

A button is empty or has no value text.

Why It Matters

When navigating to a button, descriptive text must be presented to screen reader users to indicate the function of the button.

How to Fix It

Place text content within the element or give the <input> element a value attribute.

The Algorithm... in English

A button element is present that contains no text content (or alternative text), or an <input type="submit">, <input type="button">, or <input type="reset"> has an empty or missing value attribute.

Have you tried inserting a dummy value to check if it works with said value? Example:

<button data-remodal-action="close" class="remodal-close" value="Dummy Text">

I guess it depends on if the button is within a form or not.
