Description JJ Pow 2013-04-20 18:08:35 UTC
As a frequent "validator"-user I noticed that not using WAI-ARIA for lists (ul/li) is suddenly flagged as an Error. This is the case today, but was not 2 days ago, on thursday. Has the use of aria for lists suddenly become mandatory, or is this a validator issue?
Comment 1 Michael[tm] Smith 2013-04-20 18:19:49 UTC
It's a validator issue. I made some updates today today to the ARIA support and it seems I likely introduced some unintended change. Thanks for the heads up. I will look into it and fix it as soon as possible and then respond here again.

Great to hear! Thought I was in trouble there... In any case, looking forward to the fix.
Comment 3 Michael[tm] Smith 2013-04-20 19:08:09 UTC
OK, I've fixed it now, and pushed the fix to http://validator.w3.org/nu/ and http://validator.w3.org

Thanks again for reporting this quickly

I've noticed I still get an aria error for an input button (<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" class="submit-button"/>):

"Element input is missing one or more of the following attributes: aria-checked, aria-expanded, aria-valuemax, aria-valuemin, aria-valuenow, aria-valuetext, role."

The list errors are all gone now!
