Re: WCAG 2.0: multiple buttons with the same name accessible

Hi Rob,

In my view the situation you've described would mean that the buttons were
accessible under WCAG2. This is because there's a heading structure that
gives context for each of the same-name buttons. The purpose of the
button is programmatically determinable. Unfortunately, in some screen
readers this might mean that audible output includes the page title as well
as the preceding heading, but the context is there, so you've done your job.


HTH,

Bim
