Description
Many interactive elements, such as toolbar buttons in CKEditor 3.0, use an <a href="javascript:void()"> tag due to the ability to get keyboard focus.
The <a href="..."> tags causes the UI elements to be pronounced as links in JAWS, which is usually inappropriate because the UI elements are in fact buttons.

This one is to be fixed by ARIA really, not specific element changes.
Note that <a> is used for IE6 only, and it's there for the hover effect exclusively.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
We should much probably still use <a> for it, but have better ARIA support, specially for the "role" attribute.
