Thanks Andre and Glenn.

I think I was overly focused on the two buttons that seemed like navigation
that may need "role -= navigation" in a parent wrapper.
With your tips, this should be a routine implementation.

Hello Jeff,
I'd add those as buttons wrapped in a <div> or a <section> with
role set to
"toolbar".

Hi all,



This relates to a possible upcoming project - nothing for which I current
have code examples:



I may create an online help system with a button bar that does the
following:

. Display a contents page

. Go back in the history

. Go forward in the history

. Enlarge the font size

. Print the page

. Close the window



Obviously, this is a mix of navigation and other functions. How should
semantic elements/roles be used in such a case?
