In this article, we will solve the “Section lacks heading” warning from the HTML validator to ensure proper document structure and enhance accessibility.

Reproducing the Issue

    <section>
        <h2>Section Title</h2>
        <p>This is some content for the first section.</p>
    </section>
    <section>
        <p>This is some content for the second section.</p>
    </section>

HTML Validator Warning

Warning: Section lacks heading. Consider using h2-h6 elements to add identifying headings to all sections, or else use a div element instead for any cases where no heading is needed.

Solution

To avoid the warning, ensure that each <section> in your HTML document has an appropriate heading, or use <div> elements when a heading is not necessary. This approach improves the accessibility and semantic structure of your HTML document.

    <section>
        <h2>Section Title</h2>
        <p>This is some content for the first section.</p>
    </section>
    <div>
        <p>This is some content for the second section.</p>
    </div>
