Invalid ARIA Attributes

The ARIA attributes beginning with 'aria-' used in the HTML for a page must be one of a fixed set established by the WAI-ARIA Guidelines.

If you encounter this flag, 'ARIA attributes must conform to valid values', DubBot is telling you that the flagged attribute itself is incorrect, not necessarily the value given for the attribute.

Common Client Issues

  • Misspelling - be sure your attributes are spelled correctly.

  • Using the term aria-role, when using roles the aria- prefix is not needed on the attribute.

  • Third-party content on your sites and accessibility issues.

Diagnosing an Issue from a Page View

Follow these steps to begin your diagnosis:

  1. From the Detail Page View in DubBot, expand the details for the Issue you are investigating

  2. In the Failure Summary section, find the attribute value that has been flagged.

  3. When you have located the flagged attribute in the Element Source, visit our Valid ARIA Attributes Quick Reference to find a valid attribute to use in its place.
