Accessibility and space in language identifier <html >

L Younkins asked on April 10, 2023 16:01

Our accessibility scan says Page language has not been identified. The cms is adding a space before the closing > tag in the html tag. When I look at the master page, the space is not there, but if I look at the source code on any page on our site, it is there. www.frederick.edu This is causing us to fail accessibility.

under the CMS folder.

CMS/CMSPages/PortalTemplate.aspx

Edit the line:

<html <%=XHtmlNameSpace%> <%=XmlNamespace%>>

to

<html <%=XHtmlNameSpace%> <%=XmlNamespace%> <%=OtherHeaderTags%>>

Then in the PortalTemplate.aspx.cs file, edit the OnPreRender as below:

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnPreRender(e);

    // Init the header tags
    tags.Text = HeaderTags;
    OtherHeaderTags = string.Format("lang=\"{0}\" xml:lang=\"{0}\"", LocalizationContext.CurrentCulture.CultureCode.Split('-')[0]);
}

That accessability scan is not about having a space, it's about how the <html> tag is missing the lang parameter <html lang="en">

You can modify the CMSPages/PortalTemplate.ascx and it's code behind to program in the lang with the LocalizationContext.CurrentCulture's culture code to fix this.

How do I do that? In the master page?

You have to do it in code, so you would need to go to the actual code to add the lang tag. I know, not ideal, but that's the only way to modify the

Where do I modify the code for this section? When I look at the master page, the part with the headings isn't editable.

 <html>
  <head>
    <title>

Again, you cannot edit this through the admin portal.

You must edit this through the actual code files in the Kentico C# Solution

You have to have a developer modify the CMSPages/PortalTemplate.aspx file in the code to add the language onto it.

Under templates? Master template? I have access to those. I am pretty good with code, I just need to know where within the cms structure it is located. We do not have a back end developer. I need to figure out how to do this.
