The Events Calendar Filter Bar and Empty Form Label

[Tana Stith]

I have run my website through the WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool) and am receiving 6 errors for “Empty form label”. I located the source of the error. The error is generated from the Narrow Your Results form located in the right column. The error is coming from the following code:
<label for=”s2id_autogen2″ class=”select2-offscreen”></label>

I located similar code in the plugins>the-events-calendar>common>vendor>tribe-select2> select2.js and select2.min.js. I tweaked the code in both files by adding the word “Select” between the opening and closing label tags. Nothing changed (even after clearing caches, etc).

I need to be able to have zero errors when using the WAVE tool. Do you have suggestions for correcting this empty form label?

Hi, Tana. Thanks for your detailed report.

This is coming from the Select2 script. We have it on our to-do list to update to the latest version, which is actually SelectWoo (https://github.com/woocommerce/selectWoo), and they have https://woocommerce.github.io/selectWoo/accessibility-testing/

Please note, however, that this is a very large effort that hasn’t yet been scheduled.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
