Accessibility - setting tabindex to zero?

Hi!

Hoping someone might be able to help--we're running some accessibility tests on a website before it goes live (hence why I haven't included a URL) but one of the errors we're getting is that "Elements must not have a tabindex greater than zero."

We've found the piece of code that's causing the issue, which is here:

<a href="#page" tabindex="1" class="header-skip-link sqs-button-element--primary">
      Skip to Content
    </a>

Obviously the "Skip to Content" button is essential to our accessibility requirements--but could anyone help in providing a solution to change the tabindex to zero? As it's in the Squarespace coding so I imagine we need some custom code to cancel it out...

Thanks in advance for your help!

It would be helpful if you could password protect the website and then share the URL and password.

This thread seems to have helped a few people:

Hi Ziggy,

I've actually got the same issue on a publicly available website here: www.farrierhousesurgery.co.uk.

I've had a look at the thread you shared - however I wasn't sure if that would work as it says it's for 7.0... What do you think? Worth a shot?

Thank you for your help!

Worth a shot I'd say! If it doesn't work we can hopefully find another solution.
