Inaccuracy: Search Landmark in Accessibility Checklist
Created by: JasonNeel
In the Web Accessibility Checklist, under the landmark section, the example of using the search role is inaccurate, per this blog post on Adrian Roselli’s website (found via Aaron Gustafson):
A proper form already has the form role thanks to its own native semantics…The reason you don’t want to override the native role is that the search role doesn’t replicate the form role,…
Currently, the checklist has <form role="search">
. I think maybe something like <div role="search"><form>…</form></div>
or <form><div role="search">…</div></form>
would be more advisable.
Thoughts?
