Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark
What is the problem?
The landmark-contentinfo-is-top-level rule ensures that the contentinfo landmark is not nested within another landmark. Nesting landmarks can create a confusing document structure.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
A clear and logical document structure helps screen reader users understand the page layout and navigate efficiently. Nesting landmarks can disrupt this structure, making it harder for users to find important information and complete tasks.
How to solve this issue
To fix this, ensure that the contentinfo landmark is a top-level element and not nested within another landmark. This can be achieved by adjusting the HTML structure or using appropriate ARIA attributes to define the landmark hierarchy.
