accessible-role-invalid

Suitable accessible role not found for the element.

Description

Considering the interactive element’s intended purpose, the element lacks an accessible role or the pre-existing one is unsuitable. This is crucial for enabling screen reader users to fully understand the element.

Why is it important?

For people with impairments who use a keyboard to navigate through a website, there must be sufficient information around an element’s function so that the user has enough context.

How to fix?

Add a suitable accessible ARIA role(s) to the element to resolve this issue.
