asked on February 5, 2025
Hello!
I am part of a team upgrading an existing, widely-used Angular application. The app was reviewed by a professional accessibility auditing company for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance. The audit revealed a number of accessibility issues within Flexmonster, even after enabling high contrast and keyboard navigation modes.
There are 10-20 unique issues that we hope to fix and I am including one below as an example. How might we move forward with raising each of these issues?
Packages: ngx-flexmonster 2.9.96. Angular 15.2.

Erin, Software Engineer
Issue: Filter panel: Search close button needs an accessible name
The button is missing an accessible name/label. As a result its functionality or purpose is not conveyed to screen reader users.
Element description: Close button in the 'Search' field.
See attached image.

Regarding further issues, could you please create a text file or an Excel table with all the descriptions and screenshots of the issues? It would greatly help us.
