    I wish that in the next release you make the slider navigation accessible. Even the automatic testing catches the error on MetaSlider that violates WCAG 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (Level A). Now you have:

    <a class="flex-next" href="#">Next</a>

    Which doesn’t make sense, links can’t be empty. So why can’t it be semantically correct and a href replaced with <button> what would solve the accessibility issue.

    Hi @linabalciunaite,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    You’re right, <button> would be more accessible, but we can’t change the <a> tag since it comes from FlexSlider’s core HTML. That said, we’ll add aria-label attributes to the navigation links in a future release to improve accessibility

    Appreciate the feedback!
