Diagnoses

Here is how tools diagnose the tab-opening link action unstated issue for HTML element 549 of the Portland State University Senior Adult Learning Center page.

Readers can always choose to open a link a new window. When a link forces open a new window, it can be confusing and annoying, especially for assistive device users who may wonder why their browser's "back" button is suddenly disabled. There are two general exceptions: <ul> <li>When the user is filling out a form, and opening a link in the same window would cause them to lose their work.</li> <li>When the user is clearly warned a link will open a new window.</li> </ul> To fix: set this link back its default target, or add a screen-reader accessible warning (text or an icon with alt text).
