      Description

      Issue
      Semantics - The expand/collapse buttons, icons and folders should be coded using a <button> element and not a <a> element, as activating them is not leading the user anywhere (as would a link).

      Impact

      Example Link
      http://demo.moodle.net/course/view.php?id=625
      Group links like course in the settings block show as links and should be buttons due to their purpose to only expand a list of links and not navigate the user to a new page.
