Diagnoses

Here is how tools diagnose the hr misused issue for HTML element 754 of the Northwest Natural Gas page.

1. The <code><hr></code> element adds extra <q>noise</q> and can be confusing. For example VoiceOver reads it as <q>dimmed collapsed on top, horizontal separator</q>, Windows Narrator reads it as <q>end of line</q>. A better option is to replace <code><hr></code> with <code><div></code> and use CSS for styling. Alternatively, <code>aria-hidden='true'</code> or <code>role='presentation'</code> can be applied to the <code><hr></code> element.

   Tool: ASLint (eSSENTIAL Accessibility)
