Can the aria-haspopup attribute be removed in the responsive menu component in Webflow? My client's hired Accessibility Audit company is requesting its removal, but it seems hardcoded. Is there a way to remove these attributes?

In Webflow, the `aria-haspopup` attribute is automatically applied to elements that have dropdown menus or expandable/collapsible sections. This attribute helps improve the accessibility of your website by indicating to screen readers and other assistive technologies that the element has a popup or sub-menu.

While it is essential to prioritize accessibility, it's crucial to thoroughly consider the implications before altering or removing accessibility attributes. Removing the `aria-haspopup` attribute may negatively impact users who rely on assistive technologies to navigate your website.

If your client's hired Accessibility Audit company has specifically requested the removal of the `aria-haspopup` attribute, it would be prudent to seek clarification from them about the specific concerns or issues related to this attribute.

If you decide to remove the `aria-haspopup` attribute, you would need to use custom code to achieve this, as Webflow's current implementation hardcodes this attribute. You can do this by accessing your Webflow project's custom code functionality.

Here's an example of how you can use custom code to remove the `aria-haspopup` attribute from a specific element:

1. Identify the specific element that has the `aria-haspopup` attribute using its class or ID.
2. Go to the **Project Settings** in your Webflow project.
3. Select the **Custom code** tab.
4. In the **Head Code** section, add a `

```

Remember to replace `".element-class"` with the actual class or ID of the element you want to modify. This code snippet uses `querySelector` to select the element and then removes the `aria-haspopup` attribute using `removeAttribute`.

Once you've added the custom code, be sure to republish your Webflow project for the changes to take effect.

However, keep in mind that modifying Webflow's default behavior with custom code may have unintended consequences, such as breaking functionality or impacting accessibility negatively. It's always best to consult with experts, like the hired Accessibility Audit company, to ensure any modifications align with accessibility best practices and guidelines.
