`<header>` descendant of `role="navigation"`

← Return to main list

This test case is designed to determine how the <header> element will be announced by various screen readers when it is a descendant of an element with role="navigation".

In this case, the element should be announced as a banner landmark.

By default, the element being tested does not receive focus, so the only way to test how it is announced is via:

VoiceOver: Announce next item: VO + Right Arrow
NVDA and JAWS: Announce next line: DOWN ARROW

Example

Code

<div role="navigation">
  <h4>Other content</h4>
  <header>
    <h4>Test content</h4>
  </header>
</div>
