Is the Pause Button Accessible?

    Hi!

    I love this plugin and I’ve got the slider view activated with buttons. I’m trying to make my sites as Accessible as possible. I’ve noticed that the Play/Pause button is an empty anchor. When I tab through the slider, I’m not able to activate the Play/Pause button.

    Is there something I can do to make this more Accessible. Or something you could do? The Play/Pause should be a button and not a link, since it’s creating an action on the page and not linking to another page. Would that help?

    <button class="play pause" aria-label="Stop automatic slide show</button>

<button class="play pause" aria-label="Start automatic slide show</button>

    I referenced this article:
    https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/examples/carousel/carousel-1.html?moreaccessible

    For now, I’m just hiding the Play/Pause link with CSS.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
