ISSUE-116: What are appropriate uses of role=presentation
Presentation uses
What are appropriate uses of role=presentation
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- ARIA 1.0
- Raised by:
- Michael Cooper
- Opened on:
- 2009-02-12
- Description:
- Raised in a WAI CG discussion on text alternatives:
"An element whose content equivalent is already conveyed in the document" isn't appropriate for having the "presentation" role because then it should have a "describedby" reference, not marked as presentation. This would be an explicit violation of WCAG. - Related Actions Items:
ACTION-379 on James Craig to Draft change to presentation role (and email to PF list) to address GV's concerns: remove the second bullet, but have a note that clarifies img elements inside an img role are implicitly presentational... and we change the code sample to <ul role=\"tree\"><li role=\"presentation\"><a role=\"treeitem\"> with explanation - due 2009-02-23, closed- Related emails:
- No related emails
Related notes:
Unilaterally flipping to open to trigger discussion Monday, Gregg is afraid comments on this could trigger a 2nd LC if we don't address.
