A "section" without an accessible name is nothing but a "div" - Stefan Judis
Shared: | Tags: accessibility til webdevStefan writes about how a <section>
is essentially a <div>
if an aria-label
is not used. The <section>
element would have been more prominent if browsers had implemented document outline functionality, which, according to Stefan never happened. So today, you can use <section>
s to signal where a section begins and ends, an example given in the writing was a summary paragraph.
In my site and blog, I use <sections>
a number of times, and TIL they're not much more than <div>
s. I'll have to revisit my HTML templates and CSS and make changes.
