[2024-08-08] [Fran] This will be a DST ticket, since they are going to/are componentizing the header/footer. Will either transfer ticket, or share info so they can open their own ticket and then close this one.
[2024-08-05] [Fran] Pinged Randi and Chris in Slack about async refining when they have a moment
[2024-06-03] Decided during prefinement meeting that refinement of this ticket will be async to attempt to provide estimate.
[2024-05-30] The Federal Header/Footer refresh is no longer happening; revisit this ticket to determine viability.
[1/25/2024] This will be work done after the 'new' Federal header/footer work is done, which is blocked on OFCIO research/disposition.
Description
Automated accessibility tools flag issues where they find the same link text but different HREFs. This is a valid error but the tools take it very seriously. For example, they consider https://www.va.gov/find-locations/ and https://www.va.gov/find-locations two different HREFs (because one doesn't have the end /). When we do the header/footer redesign, I want to be sure that links within the header and footer that are the same don't have this issue anymore just so I don't have to deal with these false positives.
I believe there are only 2 links this applies to:
- Contact us
- Find a VA Location
Acceptance Criteria
- Ensure links that appear in both the header and footer have the exact same HREF
- Requires accessibility review
