Hello, some anchor <a> elements cannot be focusable by the keyboard because of no href attribute. Adding this attribute (e.g href="#") allows a user to focus the element and “click” it by hitting the “Enter” key. Is there a reason that some <a> elements do not have this attribute?
Concrete examples would be useful here…
Most likely the elements do not have a meaningful target (href="#" opens a useless target if you middleclick it for example), so maybe they should be re-styled <button> elements instead of anchors.
For example, Call for abstract tab has some <a> elements that have already attribute href=# and part without that are not focusable by the keyboard:
Elements on News page also have this problem:
Should all of them be restyled with <button> or adding the href attribute suitable is suitable?
href="#" seems like the easiest choice (just make sure that clicking them doesn’t cause a # to be appended to the URL).
