Hello, the Lightbox links (i.e. class="lb-prev" / "lb-next" / "lb-cancel" / "lb-close") are being flagged as an accessibility issue as links should contain machine readable text and a href attribute. Fo empty links that don't point to a page it suggests it should have a more appropriate role attribute like a button. e.g. <a role="button"> or replace the <a> tag with a more appropriate tag like <button>.

How can this be implemented?

Thanks
