Subject: Wai Aria Roles for navigation -- breadcrumbs
No previous message | Next message →

I training myself and putting together some mockups for the next
generation of html for the specific site I am working on. I am still
learning landmark roles for presentation.

The site has horizontal global navigation and each link in the
horizontal takes you to sub section, each with a sub navigation menu
for that section and is located in the left nav.

The site also has breadcrumbs that will be dynamically generated
depending in the page.

My questions are:
Is there a role for sub menu items? Does one use role="navigation"
twice on one page?
Is there a special role for breadcrumb navigation?

Thanks,

Nancy

Hi Nancy,
There is no such landmark role for submenu items, you should not use
Role="navigation" for each submenu item that will become redundant.
you can use more than one navigation landmark such as for main navigation
menu and left navigation bar in your example.
There is no equivalent landmark role present for bredcrums, you can use
role="Navigation" but it doesn't convey actual meaning and is not required.
