[Athen] Salesforce Issues

[Emily Singer Lucio]

Hello all.

We are working with the Salesforce team and their accessibility people.  We
continue to have two issues that are worrisome.


   -

   an error exposed by the WAVE tool <https://wave.webaim.org/> - Broken
   ARIA menu. This error
   <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wwhIinSurogPZqPHJAASzMMuBdSoUpUnJ8fGYfyN3uY/edit#bookmark=id.f3gwpm6bm9ni>
   presents in the WAVE tool but not with a screen reader. Stub code is
   included by Salesforce for potential future use with the top level menu so
   that additional menu items can overflow into a dropdown menu. The
   unnecessary 'menu' placeholder is in the Salesforce-generated code without
   any menu items, which breaks the ARIA rules. The Marketing and
   Communications team's assessment is that all WAVE errors should be removed.
   This error isn't identified by the screen reader because the parent element
   is hidden but a future update could expose the error.


"Upon further review, the ARIA menu issue is accessible and working as
designed. Page navigation is using the standard out-of-box Jepson theme
navigation header. I have attached a screen recording demonstrating the
accessibility of page navigation using the JAWS 2023 screen reader." -

   An alert exposed by the WAVE tool - No heading structure. The alert
   presents in the WAVE tool but not with a screen reader.  The H1 tag is on
   the 'My Cases' heading. A div six levels up from this H1 heading has
   tabindex="-1" which indicates that this div should be skipped, thereby
   signaling to WAVE/screen readers that the div that contains the H1 should
   be skipped.



I would like to get collective input from this group.  Have any of you had
these issues?

Respectfully,
