# jsx-a11y/no-noninteractive-element-to-interactive-role 💼 This rule is enabled in the following configs: ☑️ `recommended`, 🔒 `strict`. <!-- end auto-generated rule header --> Non-interactive HTML elements indicate _content_ and _containers_ in the user interface. Non-interactive elements include `<main>`, `<area>`, `<h1>` (,`<h2>`, etc), `<img>`, `<li>`, `<ul>` and `<ol>`. Interactive HTML elements indicate _controls_ in the user interface. Interactive elements include `<a href>`, `<button>`, `<input>`, `<select>`, `<textarea>`. [WAI-ARIA roles](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#usage_intro) should not be used to convert a non-interactive element to an interactive element. Interactive ARIA roles include `button`, `link`, `checkbox`, `menuitem`, `menuitemcheckbox`, `menuitemradio`, `option`, `radio`, `searchbox`, `switch` and `textbox`. ## How do I resolve this error? ### Case: This element should be a control, like a button Put the control inside the non-interactive container element. ```jsx <li> <div role="button" onClick={() => {}} onKeyPress={() => {}}> Save </div> </li> ``` Or wrap the content inside your interactive element. ```jsx <div role="button" onClick={() => {}} onKeyPress={() => {}} tabIndex="0"> <img src="some/file.png" alt="Save" /> </div> ``` ## Rule options The recommended options for this rule allow several common interactive roles to be applied to a non-interactive element. The options are provided as an object keyed by HTML element name; the value is an array of interactive roles that are allowed on the specified element. ```js { 'no-noninteractive-element-to-interactive-role': [ 'error', { ul: ['listbox', 'menu', 'menubar', 'radiogroup', 'tablist', 'tree', 'treegrid'], ol: ['listbox', 'menu', 'menubar', 'radiogroup', 'tablist', 'tree', 'treegrid'], li: ['menuitem', 'option', 'row', 'tab', 'treeitem'], table: ['grid'], td: ['gridcell'], }, ] } ``` Under the recommended options, the following code is valid. It would be invalid under the strict rules. ```jsx <ul role="menu" /> ``` ## Accessibility guidelines - [WCAG 4.1.2](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/name-role-value) ### Resources - [WAI-ARIA roles](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#usage_intro) - [WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices Guide - Design Patterns and Widgets](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/#aria_ex) - [Fundamental Keyboard Navigation Conventions](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/#kbd_generalnav) - [Mozilla Developer Network - ARIA Techniques](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_button_role#Keyboard_and_focus)
