# no-interactive-element-to-noninteractive-role

Interactive HTML elements indicate _controls_ in the user interface. Interactive elements include `<a href>`, `<button>`, `<input>`, `<select>`, `<textarea>`.

Non-interactive HTML elements and non-interactive ARIA roles indicate _content_ and _containers_ in the user interface. Non-interactive elements include `<main>`, `<area>`, `<h1>` (,`<h2>`, etc), `<img>`, `<li>`, `<ul>` and `<ol>`.

[WAI-ARIA roles](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#usage_intro) should not be used to convert an interactive element to a non-interactive element. Non-interactive ARIA roles include `article`, `banner`, `complementary`, `img`, `listitem`, `main`, `region` and `tooltip`.

## How do I resolve this error?

### Case: The element should be a container, like an article

Wrap your interactive element in a `<div>` with the desired role.

```jsx
<div role="article">
  <button>Save</button>
</div>
```

### Case: The element should be content, like an image

Put the content inside your interactive element.

```jsx
<div
  role="button"
  onClick={() => {}}
  onKeyPress={() => {}}
  tabIndex="0">
  <div role="img" aria-label="Save" />
</div>
```

## Rule details

The recommended options for this rule allow the `tr` element to be given a role of `presentation` (or its semantic equivalent `none`). Under normal circumstances, an element with an interactive role should not be semantically neutralized with `presentation` (or `none`).

Options are provided as an object keyed by HTML element name; the value is an array of interactive roles that are allowed on the specified element.

```js
{
  'no-interactive-element-to-noninteractive-role': [
    'error',
    {
      tr: ['none', 'presentation'],
    },
  ]
}
```

Under the recommended options, the following code is valid. It would be invalid under the strict rules.

```jsx
<tr role="presentation" />
```
