ARIA attributes must be used as specified for the element's role
What is the problem?
The aria-conditional-attr rule ensures that certain ARIA attributes are only used on an element under certain conditions.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Using ARIA attributes incorrectly can confuse screen readers and other assistive technologies. This can lead to inaccurate information being conveyed to users, making it harder for them to understand and interact with the content.
How to solve this issue
To fix this, ensure that the ARIA attributes are used correctly with the role of the element. For example, `aria-checked` should not be used on an HTML input element with type="checkbox" as the checked state is determined by the browser.
