Code Reference

<div aria-hidden="false" role="treeitem" tabindex="0" depth="1" scale="s" calcite-hydrated=""><div class="node-container" data-selection-mode="single"><div class="bullet-point" aria-hidden="true" icon="bullet-point" scale="s" calcite-hydrated=""><svg class="svg" fill="currentColor" height="100%" viewbox="0 0 16 16" width="100%" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M8 6a2 2 0 1 0 0 4 2 2 0 1 0 0-4z"></path></svg></div>Child 1</div><div class="children-container" data-test-id="calcite-tree-children"></div></div>

Suggestion
Ensure ARIA roles, states, and properties are valid. Many ARIA attributes can only be used on certain elements. Some can only be used in combination with other attributes. Additionally, if an attribute references an ID, that ID must be present in the page.

To detect many of these errors automatically, use the Nu Html Checker: https://validator.w3.org/nu/

Compliant Code Example

<button aria-pressed="false">Child 1</button>
(...)
<button aria-expanded="false">Child 2</button>
