Currently, I am working on enhancing the accessibility of a breadcrumbs component that is structured around a <ul> element. In my quest for solutions, I came across the concept of ARIA roles and specifically the directory role. While it seems like a potential match for my breadcrumbs component, I find myself grappling with the task of determining its suitability and ensuring that my component meets all the necessary criteria outlined in the role's description. Below, you can view a demonstration of the styling and structure of my breadcrumbs list:
ul.breadcrumbs {
display: -webkit-box;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
list-style: none;
margin: 10px 8px;
padding: 0;
border-radius: 4px;
box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
}
ul.breadcrumbs li {
-webkit-box-flex: 1;
max-width: 100%;
-webkit-flex-grow: 1;
flex-grow: 1;
-webkit-flex-basis: 0;
flex-basis: 0;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
background: #e0e0e0;
height: 32px;
line-height: 32px;
margin-right: 18px;
/* Additional CSS stylings omitted for brevity */
}<ul class="breadcrumbs">
<li><a href="#">Root</a>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Folder</a>
</li>
<li>File</li>
</ul>
