#none or presentation?

Do either work across browsers and Screen Readers?

Details on Use of role=presentation or role=none

#Short answer is:

  • All modern browsers support both role="none" and role="presentation"
  • Internet Explorer 11 supports role="presentation" only
  • JAWS 2019 works around IE's lack and so supports role="none"
  • NVDA 2018.2.1 does not work around IE's lack of support and so does not support role="none"
  • Although Edge 17.17134 supports both, Narrator appears to not take notice of either.
  • NVDA and JAWS work as expected with Firefox 64.0b12 (64-bit) and Chrome Version 70.0.3538.110 (Official Build) (64-bit).
  • VoiceOver with Safari 12.01 and Chrome Version 67.0.3396 on macOS Sierra works as expected.
