Product: axe Extension
Expectation: Correctly describe how to fix the issue
Actual: Typo in the text
Motivation: The typo has caused confusion and caused developers to look in the wrong place for the error
Extension version: v4.32.0
axe-core version: v4.4.2
Chrome browser version 103.0.5060.134 (Official Build) (64-bit)
In the axe extension an error has been identified for:
Rule ID: list
Ruleset: axe-core 4.4
<ul> and <ol> must only directly contain <li>, <script> or <template> elements
The issue was triggered because a <span> was nested within a <ul>. The extension says:
Fix the following: List element has direct children that are not allowed inside <li> elements
I believe this is a typo and that it should say:
List element has direct children that are not allowed inside <ul> elements
The rule is concerned with errors due to incorrect direct children of <ul> and <ol> elements, not <li> elements and therefore this fix shown in the extension is misleading.
