Re: Unrecognizable Links by VO

It looks like there is no "href" attribute on the anchor element. the
<a> tag has to have an href to be keybord accessible and to be a link,
<a> element without one is what is called a "neutered link" and is not
really a link (should not be mapped as link in the Accessibility API).
Adding an href to this should fix the problem (better yet, use a
<button> because this widget should be a button and I think it is
styled like a button.
