Description
There are various accessibility issues with the collapsable/expandable panels in the admin. This panels can be found on the dashboard and in edit screens for posts/pages/etc:
- The collapse/expand is clickable, but has no semantic meaning
- The clickable element to expand/collapse a panel is not keyboard focusable
Suggested fixes:
- Use an a or button element, or apply an appropriate aria role (however, using of a native element is preferable here)
- If using an ARIA role, ensure to add tabindex to make it focusable
- Use the aria-expanded attribute to present the collapsed/expanded status of the panel
