Hi Steve,
Sure. See below. I checked the syntax of the A tag at Mozilla Developer Network, and I do not see the problem.

<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li class="company"><a href="/company/" class="bvRowLite"><strong>Company</strong></a></li>
<li class="brands"><a href="/brands/" class="bvRowLite"><strong>Brands</strong></a></li>
<li class="strategy"><a href="/strategy/" class="bvRowLite"><strong>Strategy</strong></a></li>
<li class="investors"><a href="https://ir.company.com/" class="bvRowLite"><strong>Investors</strong></a></li>
<li class="careers"><a href="/careers/" class="bvRowLite"><strong>Careers</strong></a></li>
<li class="news"><a href="https://ir.company.com/news-releases" class="bvRowLite"><strong>News</strong></a></li>
<li class="contact"><a href="/contact/"><strong>Contact</strong></a></li>
</ul>
</div>

I inserted that code into a page and the Firefox accessibility checker does not report it as an error for me.

Is it possible that a parent element is doing something to cause your problem? Can you post a larger code sample so we can see more of the context?

Jim,

Double check with a screen reader to make sure it is picking up the name for the link, but that looks like a false positive. I would suggest filing a bug.

Thanks!
Tim

Hi,
I got the below code using the Firefox accessibility checker. The checker says that the accessible name is blank, but I don't see that here. What am I missing?

<a href="/company/" class="bvRowLite"><strong>Company</strong></a>

Jim
