    Hello there 👋. Congratulations on successfully completing the challenge! 🎉

    • I have a suggestion regarding your code that I believe will be of great interest to you.

    MAKING ACCESSIBLE LINKS:

    • The links like Github, Frontend Mentor are needed to be actual <a> elements which are wrapped up using li and ul elements. The button element is not appropriate to use in this solution. because button element can't be used for navigation purposes that's why we want to use a elements.

    • This is the current markup,
    <div class="container">
      <button> GitHub</button>
      <button>Frontend Mentor</button>
      ....
    </div>
    

    • In order to make this solution accessible, we need to use <a> elements with href attribute. Here's the example
    <ul>
        <li>
           <a href="#">Github</a>
        </li>
        <li>
           <a href="#">Frontend Mentor</a>
         </li>
        ...
    </ul>
    ....
    

    • If you have any questions or need further clarification feel free to reach out to me.

    I hope you find this helpful 😄 Above all, the solution you submitted is great !

    Happy coding!

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit all CSS, SCSS and Less files in your repository.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.

How does the JavaScript validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use eslint to run an automated check on the JavaScript code.

The report picks out common JavaScript issues such as not using semicolons and using var instead of let or const, among others.

The report will audit all JS and JSX files in your repository. We currently do not support Typescript or other frontend frameworks.
