Duplicate IDs referenced by ARIA or labels

What this is

3 elements share an `id` that a label or ARIA attribute points to. Assistive technology picks the wrong element, so the wrong name is read.

Who it affects

  • Screen reader users

Standards

How to fix it

  1. Give every element a unique `id` and update the `for`, `aria-labelledby`, `aria-describedby` or `aria-controls` that refer to it.
