Description

Enforce that interactive ARIA roles are not assigned to non-interactive HTML elements.

Non-interactive HTML elements indicate content and containers in the user interface. Non-interactive elements include <main>, <area>, <h1> (,<h2>, etc), <img>, <li>, <ul> and <ol>.

Interactive HTML elements indicate controls in the user interface. Interactive elements include <a href>, <button>, <input>, <select>, <textarea>.

WAI-ARIA roles should not be used to convert a non-interactive element to an interactive element. Interactive ARIA roles include button, link, checkbox, menuitem, menuitemcheckbox, menuitemradio, option, radio, searchbox, switch and textbox.
