Hello,
I encountered a skip-to-main-content link that JAWS announces as
“visited same page link”, but it does not activate with Enter.
It does work with the Space bar.
The markup is a standard in-page link:
<a href="#main-content">Skip to main content</a>
The site is built in Drupal, so I suspect a scripted event is
cancelling the default behavior.
Would this be considered a failure of SC 2.1.1, even though the link is
focusable? I also experience similar problems with skip to main content
links on other web pages as well. Can you explain what is most likely
causing many web developers to make skip to main content links not work
correctly?
Tested with:
JAWS 2026
Chrome
Windows 11
Thank you,
