You might not need role="presentation".

Steve Frenzel shows how overusing ARIA can hurt more than help. Native HTML often wins.

You Know What? Just Don’t Split Words into Letters This is an unplanned part two for Barriers from Links with ARIA. The title reflects my exasperation because this isn’t new, I’ve simply failed to be explicit about it over the last decade or so. In…

Splitting words into letters for animation might look slick, but it breaks how screen readers interpret content.

Me to a major NZ software house, 2010: “Coding for only Internet Explorer is short-sighted. You need to code to industry web standards, not a particular browser - let people choose a browser that best suits their needs, which supports those standards.”
