Angie,

I don't see any attachment in this ticket. If it's not an image file, then please email to support@j2commerce.com so I can take a look.

We agree that accessibility is vital to creating a frictionless shopping experience. We are still in the process of not only updating the existing component, but developing the new Joomla 6 version that will bring many areas closer to core Joomla which by default will make things much more accessible. In the meantime, please email us what you were trying to attach to this ticket so we can work on getting the current version updated as quickly as possible for you and the rest of the J2 users.
