Accessibility issue - if this HTML contains interactive elements, ...

[frederikbisback]

Hello, community, 

I hope you all doing great!

I have some questions about HTML text - control. 
It is throwing an issue when in the "app" and "solution" checker.

App checker:

Solution checker: 

Medium issue!

My questions: 

• What's the impact on the PAL score? Because the solution checker is not passed (not 100% green)
• The HTML text control is not including <button>, <a>, or <input>. But still the issue is in the app and solution checker?
  Using a simple example: 
  
• What's the best way then to avoid using the HTML text - control? 
• The issue is saying not to use the HTML text - control, and it's available in the text - control.  Using this control in an app, the app and solution checker throws the problem. Why not when a condition is not reached? 
  
  

Thanks for the feedback.

Regards, 

Frederik Bisback

From https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/accessibility-checker 

HTML won't be accessible

Warning

When a control other than an HTML text control contains HTML. In that case, Power Apps doesn't support accessibility of custom HTML elements.

Use a method other than HTML, or remove the HTML from this element.

Your app won't work correctly or be accessible if you add interactive HTML elements.

Can you check if the warning goes away if you use an HTML text control containing HTML rather than some other kind of Control with HTML in it?

Hi @frederikbisback ,

Hello @WarrenBelz 

Thank you for the feedback.

Currently, I'm using the default text as a test in the HTML text control >> Show your HTML (Blue) text here. 

Mu questions I have about the control, see below: 

• What's the impact on the PAL score? Because the solution checker is not passed (not 100% green)
• The HTML text control is not including <button>, <a>, or <input>. But still the issue is in the app and solution checker? Using a simple example,m see screenshot:

Thanks for the feedback

Hi @frederikbisback ,

I picked up your post as it was unanswered and assumed you were concerned with the code validity. I must admit I ignore that checker so do not have an answer for you.

Hey All, 

I have opened a ticket at Microsoft to get an answer to my question. 
I have good news that the product team will remove the medium error message in the next update on December thirteen. (13/12/2021)
