Provide accessible names for ARIA command elements

Without an accessible name, screen reader users will only hear the role (e.g., 'button') without knowing what it does, making the interface impossible to navigate.

Quick Reference

  • Elements with command roles (button, link, menuitem) must have a label
  • Accessible names can be provided via text content, aria-label, or aria-labelledby
  • Ensures users know the purpose of the interactive element

Check

Identify elements with command roles (like button or link) that lack a clear accessible name.

Fix

Add an accessible name using inner text, aria-label, or aria-labelledby to all command elements.

Explain

Explain how accessible names for command elements enable screen reader users to understand interactive controls.

Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Provide accessible names for ARIA command elements. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech.
