Hi all,
i have 4 scenarios on the list markup and not able to understand/conclude
whether they are really issues or not
scenario 1: There is pagination area on one of our screens and it consists
of the previous, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, next links. the list markup
is present for all the pagination elements including previous and next
links and as a result, screen reader announces list with 12 items as soon
as we enter into the pagination area. i feel that previous and next links
need not to be included in the list markup and screen reader should
announce list with 10 items but not 12 items, what do you say?

scenario 2: There is search skills text field with auto suggestion feature
and this one single text field is markedup with list. as a result, screen
reader announces list with 1 item as soon as we navigate to this text
field. i feel that this need not be included in the list, what do you say?

scenario 3: it is kind of add on to the scenario 2. user can select
multiple skills from the search skills text field with the help of the auto
suggestions. let us imagine user selects 2 skills such as Java and
accessibility from the auto suggestion list. those selected 2 skills are
presented the beside the text field. selected 2 skills as well as the
search skills text field is markedup with list and as a result, screen
reader announces list of 3 items. i feel again that search skills text
field need not be included in the list, what do you say?

scenario 4: we have search results page with many filters(such as category,
country, state, and so on..). when we select any filters then list of the
selected filters will be displayed at the main content.. let us imagine
user selects 2 filters from the filters. selected 2 filters with respective
clear filter options are presented at the top of main content. in addition,
there is one more element with clear all filter button is going to be
displayed at the same place. selected 2 filters as well as clear all filter
element is markedup with list and as a result, screen reader announces list
of 3 items. i feel that clear all filter element need not to be included in
the list, what do you say?
looking forward for your insights on the same.
Thank you.
