Accessibility scan produces Duplicate object ID violations

Troubleshooting


Problem

When you use an accessibility scanner, such as IBM accessibility, WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.0, or aXe, to scan the IBM Cognos Analytics application, violations may be reported such as the following:
Parsing 4.1.1 - Duplicate value of type ID
These violations occur because HTML elements containing duplicate IDs are found that are in violation of the W3C standard, F77: Failure of Success Criterion 4.1.1 due to duplicate values of type ID
