ARIA
What It Means
An ARIA role, state, or property is present.
Why It Matters
ARIA provides enhanced semantics and accessibility for web content.
What To Do
Ensure the ARIA role, state, or property is used correctly. Use standard HTML accessibility features when possible. Be aware that support for ARIA is limited in older browsers and assistive technologies.
The Algorithm... in English
An ARIA role, state, or property is present, excluding landmark roles, aria-labelledby, or aria-describedby which are distinct WAVE items.
