Description
This rule determines whether attributes id
and their value are defined more than once, as they should be unique.
If the id
is not unique and is assigned to several elements, automation will fail because only the first element will be selected. Assistive technologies are also impacted by duplicate IDs since they frequently obtain data associated with the first id
. Even if other WAI-ARIA attributes are correct, assistive technologies are unlikely to provide accurate information after the duplicate id
is presented.
How to fix it
- Ensure all attributes
id
have a unique value.
