ARIA: window role

The window role defines a browser or app window.

Note: The window role is an abstract role. It is included here for completeness of documentation. It should not be used by web authors.

Description

The window role, an abstract role, is a superclass for roles defining a browser or app window. The sub-class roles, currently only the dialog role, have a window-like GUI, whether it's a full native window or just a section of a document styled to look like a window, where role="dialog" would be appropriate.

Best Practices

Do not use.
