waiRole and waiState¶
These attributes were support for accessibility, to define the role of DOM nodes such as “tree”. See Creating Accessible Widgets for more information.
However, due to browser advancements widgets can now just specify roles (ex: role=”grid”) and aria states (ex: aria-pressed=”true”) directly.
