Description

Story

As an API Consumer
I need content on the API Key Signup page to be accessible
So that I can understand how to sign up for an API Key

Observed behavior

The API Key Signup page contains a script to render the signup form. This script is wrapped in tags. WebAIM issues a warning with regards to this technique.

WebAIM details

Content within is presented if JavaScript is disabled. Because nearly all users (including users of screen readers and other assistive technologies) have JavaScript enabled, cannot be used to provide an accessible version of inaccessible scripted content.

How to Fix It

Ensure that scripted content is accessible. The content will be presented to very few users, but must be accessible if used.
