Bug 23877 – Checker fails use of ARIA role=alert on UL element submitted on Nov 20, 2013 I used http://validator.w3.org/check and also http://validator.nu The validator fails use of role=alert on a UL tag Row 53 Column 44: Bad value alert for attribute role on element ul.<ul id="errlist" role="alert" tabindex="-1"> ✉ Test the page at http://mars.dequecloud.com/demo/form-alert2.htm I did not see this error a few months ago on the same page and code. So I am surprised why it is being flagged as an issue now. role=alert is a valid role as per ARIA specs. http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#alert Thanks and regards, Sailesh Panchang
