Extra <span> tags in OPAC results count

[Allison Matherne]

The text identifying the number of results and pages is formatted using several <span> elements. VoiceOver treats each <span> element as a separate text element, which causes it to not be read as one statement. Rather than advancing the cursor once and hearing “Results 1 - 2 of 2 (page 1 of 1)”, I have to advance it many times, hearing “Results”, “1”, “space”, “2”, “of”, “2”, “page”, “1”, “of”, “1” one at a time and disjointed. This makes navigation inefficient and makes it hard to understand what I’m being told. Fix: Remove the <span> elements from this text.

Equinox is working on this with funding from BC Libraries Cooperative. Bugs were identified by testers from Canada's National Network for Equitable Library Service (NNELS) working on Evergreen 3.12.
