Errors encountered when testing Skosmos with Wave accessibility evaluation tool

[tpalonen]

EU has a directive for online accessibility requirements and these requirements should be met by 23rd of September 2020. Wave Accessibility Evaluation Tool is a good way for testing whether some of these requirements are met. http://wave.webaim.org

As tested for Finto service on 25th September 2017, the following errors and alerts were reported by Wave:

• Finto frontpage has 4 missing form labels, 2 orphaned form labels and 3 redundant title texts
• Finto concept page has 3 missing form labels, 1 missing field set and 1 redundant title text
• Finto enter search result page has 8 missing form labels, 2 orphaned form labels, 1 missing fieldset and alternative texts missing from each search result
