ARIA Attributes
ARIA Attributes is a set of special HTML attributes that help designers describe the roles, states, and properties of elements on a web page, making it easier for browsers and other tools to understand the structure of interactive content. Within web standards, ARIA Attributes can be used to label complex design elements like sliders, tabs, or menus, giving clear information about their purpose and current state. Designers can use ARIA Attributes to create custom controls and widgets that behave in a predictable way, even if they do not use standard HTML elements. For example, the aria-expanded attribute can show whether a menu is open or closed, and aria-label can give a name to a button or icon. ARIA Attributes are written directly in the HTML code, and each attribute has a specific meaning that helps organize the content for different uses.
