Web Governance
Undefined ARIA attribute must not be used
Bridgit is a blind mother to a five-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy:
"There are some things that are just tricky, and then there are things that do not work at all. One thing that often does not work is those drop-downs where you have to search for something. You know, where you type in text and then a list of suggestions pops up, and you have to choose from that list instead of just typing what you want. This happens a lot when I am booking flights. The field where I have to choose which airport I am flying from and to. Sometimes I can type in the text, and the screen reader will tell me there are, say, 3 or 10 results on the list. But I cannot see or select anything from that list. I just get stuck and cannot move forward."
A checkbox is coded using a <div> element, with the role and state of the checkbox added through ARIA attributes. Unfortunately, the attribute that is intended to indicate the state of the checkbox is not a valid ARIA attribute because aria-not-checked is not part of the WAI-ARIA standard.

<div role="checkbox" aria-checked="true">Accept terms and conditions.</div>This section provides information on how to identify and fix the issue.
The Acquia Web Governance platform flags instances of attributes that start with aria- but are not defined in the ARIA standard.
You must correct these attributes so that your code only uses valid ARIA attributes as defined in the WAI-ARIA standard
