| Definition |
ARIA roles that prohibit accessible names should not have an accessible name defined using aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes. |
| Purpose |
- Providing an accessible name for elements or roles provides a way for users to identify the purpose of each landmark, widget, link, table and form control on a web page.
- Versions of the ARIA specification before 1.2 allowed
aria-label or aria-labelledby to be used on any element, even if an accessible name was not useful .
- For example, defining an accessible name on a
p element or an element with role=none does not provide any useful accessibility information to assistive technologies. For a p element the text content is the only part that is needed by assistive technologies.
