Konstantin,

Functionally this is a button so it should have a button role. It's okay to have an element that is both a heading and a button though:

<h1><button onclick="alert('hello')">Test</button></h1>

Note that the button must be within the heading, not the heading within the button.

hello all:
how do you thinkk The Following Code Snippet is a failure of SC 4.1.2 or not?
<h1 onclick="alert('hello')">Test</h1>
SC4.1.2 requreis that For all user interface components role can be programmatically determined and in this code snipped the role can be programmatically determined. I mean <h1> has implicit role "heading" so here no any errors. Or not?
what do you think about it?
