HTML issues tagged as nav.
The navigation
landmark role is used to identify major groups of links used for navigating through a website or page content. It can be added to an element that contains navigation links by using role="navigation"
, but instead it’s preferable to just use the <nav>
element. In that case, it’s unnecessary to make the navigation role explicit.
Examples:
<div role="navigation">
<!-- this is a valid way to define a navigation role -->
</div>
<nav>
<!-- but this is shorter and uses correct semantic HTML -->
</nav>
