ARIA: directory role

{{AccessibilitySidebar}} 

The directory role was for a list of references to members of a group, such as a static table of contents.

[!WARNING] The directory role was deprecated in ARIA 1.2

Description

A directory is a static table of contents, whether linked or unlinked. This includes tables of contents built with lists, including nested lists. Dynamic tables of contents, however, might use a tree role instead.

The deprecated directory role was used for lists of references to members of a group, such as a static table of contents. Use the list role instead. Or, better yet, use the {{HTMLElement('ul')}}  or {{HTMLElement('ol')}}  elements, as using directory does not provide any additional benefits to assistive technology users.
