[Koha-devel] Improving the advanced search form

[Mathieu Saby]

Hello
In term of accessibility, the filters for coded informations in advanced 
search (for Marc21 flavor, and if  "expanded_options" activated) are a 
list of SELECT tags without any LABEL.
I think it is not good to for blind people, but I'm not an expert...
