If you, however, are using a list construct as the basis for an ARIA
menu you have to hide the list construct from assistive technologies
and give all active items in the menu a role of menuitem:
<ul role="menu" aria-label="actions">
<li role="presentation"><button role="menuitem">edit</button></li>
<li role="presentation"><button role="menuitem">Delete</button></li>
</ul>
