Description
In edit.php there is the table with the listing of the posts.
Per row the title of the post is read out 3 times after each other, and for screen reader users it's not clear what the meaning or difference is
<tr id="post-95" class="iedit author-self level-0 post-95 type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized"> <th scope="row" class="check-column"> <label class="screen-reader-text" for="cb-select-95">Select test</label> <input id="cb-select-95" type="checkbox" name="post[]" value="95"> <div class="locked-indicator"></div> </th> <td class="post-title page-title column-title"> <strong> <a class="row-title" href="[...]/wp-admin/post.php?post=95&action=edit" title="Edit “test”">test</a> </strong> <div class="locked-info"><span class="locked-avatar"></span> <span class="locked-text"></span></div> <p>The excerpt of Test here...</p> <div class="row-actions"> <span class="edit"><a href="[...]/wp-admin/post.php?post=95&action=edit" title="Edit this item">Edit</a> | </span> <span class="inline hide-if-no-js"><a href="#" class="editinline" title="Edit this item inline">Quick Edit</a> | </span> <span class="trash"><a class="submitdelete" title="Move this item to the Trash" href="http://pctje.xs4all.nl/trunk/src/wp-admin/post.php?post=95&action=trash&_wpnonce=33cbe221df">Trash</a> | </span> <span class="view"><a href="[...]" title="View “test”" rel="permalink">View</a></span></div> [...] </tr>
A screen reader user hears in NVDA:
row 2 Select All column 1
Select postname check box not checked
Title column 2
postname link Edit “postname”
Edit link Edit this item
Quick Edit link Edit this item inline
Trash link Move this item to the Trash
View link View “postname”
It is not clear what those 3 different items mean: Select postname & Edit “postname” & Edit this item
The reading of select all before every row will be discussed in a separate ticket.
In fact Edit “postname” or Edit this item are links to the same page. This is also confusing for sighted users is my experience. Why 2 links to the same page (/wp-admin/post.php?post=xx&action=edit).
It would be clearer if the first checkbox and Edit “postname” would be properly screen-reader-text labeled and the third link deleted all together.
