The “dialog” role is unnecessary for element “dialog”.

The dialog element does not require or permit a role="dialog" attribute according to HTML standards.

The <dialog> element has an implicit ARIA role of dialog, so adding role="dialog" is redundant and not valid per the specification. Instead, simply use the <dialog> element without an explicit role attribute.

Details:

According to the WHATWG HTML standard and ARIA specification, native <dialog> elements automatically have the correct role. Adding role="dialog" can cause HTML validation errors, as the validator interprets this as a misuse or redundancy.

Correct usage:

<dialog>
  <p>This is a dialog box.</p>
  <button>Close</button>
</dialog>

Incorrect usage (causes validation error):

<dialog role="dialog">
  <p>This is a dialog box.</p>
  <button>Close</button>
</dialog>

Removing the role="dialog" attribute resolves the W3C validation issue while maintaining accessibility.
