Description
Related: #34832, #34833, #34834. Changelist filters are a very useful way to navigate long lists of entries. The filters would be easier to reach for screen reader users if they were in a navigation
landmark done with a <nav>
element or role="navigation"
attribute. Currently they are a <div id="changelist-filter">
.
This element should be switched to a <nav>
, and we should also add an aria-labelledby
set to the id of <h2>Filter</h2>
element within, so the navigation landmark has a distinct label.
