Should the default role of fieldset be group? #1439
Comments
Thanks @carmacleod. |
It doesn’t have a default ARIA role according to http://w3c.github.io/html-aria/#fieldset or https://w3c.github.io/html-aam/#el-fieldset either. Is this something that was missed or is there a good reason for this? Which document is actually normative for defining the implied role and – in case it’s not the main HTML spec – should the discussion be moved there? |
My bad - this was already asked in fieldset default role should be group #95 and closed as "fieldset has no corresponding ARIA role in HTML AAM". Looking a bit deeper, and if I understand the following ARIA Role Parity issue correctly: ROLE PARITY: Determine which of these mapped elements require a specific role, versus a generic role #697, it looks like ARIA will be adding a role for fieldset. Anyhow, I'm closing this, and letting the powers that be decide on the default role for fieldset. |
Thank you @carmacleod |
