region rule should ignore content of noscript elements

[nico3333fr]

Hi there,

I've used it on https://van11y.net/ thanks to Sonarwhal https://sonarwhal.com/scanner/39c2fa0b-cfaa-49c9-bc5f-3564a2eaec21

It reported me this error: "Content should be contained in a landmark region"

It seems (look at the thread on Twitter https://twitter.com/molant/status/989497275134001154) that it is due to:

<noscript><p class="invisible"><img src="/piwik/piwik.php?idsite=1" alt="" /></p></noscript>

This piece of code is for Matomo Analytics (ex-Piwik). It seems to be a false positive.

I hope this will help you to improve your tool.

Cheers,
Nicolas

Sound legit to me 😃. Axe-core should definitely be ignoring things inside of < noscript>.

@WilcoFiers
I was looking to pick this up and the first point of fix was to introduces a region-matches.js for region rule and ignore noscript and its children.

But your comment reads, axe-core should ignore noscript. Am I right in thinking we need to make this a global filter of some sort, even before executing the matches?

Thoughts?

Not able to reproduce the issue.
