AODA: Elements with an ARIA role don't contain child roles, WCAG 2.0 Guideline 4.1.2 Level A

Description:
Ensures elements with an ARIA role that require child roles contain them

Why it Matters:
The inclusion of an ARIA role attribute in an element serves to guide assistive technologies in treating the element differently from its inherent HTML element type. For instance, assigning role="listbox" to a <ul> element directs assistive technologies to perceive it as a listbox control rather than a static list.

Suggested Fix:

  1. Identify the elements serving as managed controls and add the appropriate "child" roles to them.

  2. Remove any child elements of the managing control which are not serving as managed controls.

  3. Make sure the value of each ARIA state attribute updates as needed to reflect the element’s current state.

  4. Identify the ARIA role that best identifies the element’s function.

    Hi Vahida,

    We have reviewed your enhancement suggestion.

    Based on the information provided, our understanding of your request is as follows:

    • ARIA roles should contain child roles

    Following internal investigation of DOM, we can see that children with role=tab exist, it would seem for some reason they are not picked up by the AXE tool you are using.

    We have also performed some further manual testing with screenreaders, and the user experience is as expected.

    We are closing this request and do not plan to take any further action. If you believe we have misunderstood your request, please respond within 7 days with clarifications.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas with us. We are committed to involving our users in building our product roadmap and appreciate your suggestions.

    Regards,

    Graham McCrindle, CURAM Product Management Team
