Page has duplicate IDs Accessibility Checkpoint
Description
This page has duplicate IDs which cause problems in screen readers.
Help
Two or more elements on this page share the same ID, which cause problems in screen readers which use IDs for labeling controls and table headings. This also causes problems in JavaScript methods like getElementById
and querySelector
, which behave inconsistently when duplicate IDs are present. Change the ID so it is unique for each element.
