Diagnoses

Here is how rule engines diagnose the role redundant issue for HTML element 97 of the Portland City Club page.

1. The explicitly-assigned ARIA role "navigation" is redundant with the implicit role of the element <nav>

   Rule engine: Accessibility Checker (IBM)

   Rule: aria_role_redundant

2. role attributes should not repeat the element’s built-in role

   Rule engine: Pour (David Yarham and Geoffrey Crofte)

   Rule: redundant-role
