This sounds like a 1.3.1 non-compliance to me. It might also fall under 4.1.1 because there must be some incorrectly nested elements. At the very least there must be a <form> element that is part inside and part outside the main region. There may also be a <fieldset> that's part inside and part outside.

Subject: [WebAIM] Content belonging to region left outside

Hi all,

Apologies for so many questions.

The main region on one of our pages wraps around a question, but the "Yes" and "No" buttons are outside. They should definitely be inside this main region.

Does this constitute a WCAG2 fail, and if so under what SC? 1.3.1 (info and relationships) perhaps, or would that be pushing the boundary a bit?

Thanks again, Isabel
