Search highlights toggle has no focus indicator

Post by rjcbop »

We've discovered that the search highlights toggle control (on the search results page for responsive webhelp) has no focus indicator, e.g. when tabbing to the control. We see that this is due to the following CSS in wh-breadcrumb.css:

.wh_hide_highlight:focus {outline: none}

Our understanding is that the lack of a focus indicator violates 508 accessibility requirements. We can work around this issue by including custom CSS to override this but wonder if there is some reason for suppressing the focus indicator.

Hi rjcbop,

Thank you for reporting this to us!
As this was not done with a purpose, I have just logged the issue in our internal tracking system, so that our development team could look into it for a possible fix that will be implemented in a future version of oXygen.

Thank you again for the feedback and we will notify this thread when a new implementation will become available.

Regards,
Costin
