WAI-ARIA - selected menuitem

Vote count:

0

I'm doing some code clean up / validation in a web site, and have run into an issue.

According to the WAI-ARIA spec, the state aria-selected is not allowed on the role menuitem: http://ift.tt/1hGzxP2. Neither can I find any state for menuitem that seem to mark the menuitem as selected: http://ift.tt/1jYt3f1.

The menustructure is like this:

<nav role="navigation">
    <ul role="menubar">
        <li role="menuitem" aria-selected="true">
            <a href="currentpage">Current page</a>
        </li>
        <li role="menuitem">
            <a href="anotherpage">Another page</a>
        </li>
    </ul>
</nav>

What would be the correct implementation of a selected menuitem?
