Re: Is this Navigation or a Menu? How should it work?

Jonathan, I'm not hearing a second navigation area with either JAWS (on IE
11) or NVDA (on firefox 56 - I don't use Firefox ESR and the latest firefox
doesn't have the fix yet for JAWS).

However, there is an extra label in the code on the <ul>. But since the
<ul> never receives focus, I don't hear the aria-label ("Primary
Navigation"). Is that what you're hearing? What combination AT/browser
are you using?
