Description steve faulkner 2010-08-29 13:27:38 UTC
the example provided for conformance checkers in the aria section is confusing:

"For example, if an a element is marked as having the button role, a conformance checker could say "Either a button element or an input element is required when using the button role" rather than "The button role cannot be used with a elements"."

It is not the case that "Either a button element or an input element is required when using the button role""
as the button role can be used on many elements.

please modify the example to correct this error.

The bug-triage sub-team thinks this is not a TF priority, and appears to be fixed. Steve should mark as verified if he agrees, or push back if needed.
