Use unique IDs for ARIA references

When ARIA attributes point to duplicate IDs, assistive technologies may read the wrong label or description, providing misleading information to the user.

Quick Reference

• Ensure IDs referenced by ARIA attributes (e.g., aria-labelledby) are unique
• Avoid duplicate IDs that lead to ambiguous accessibility relationships
• Verify that ARIA controls correctly target their intended elements

Check

Identify elements where an ARIA attribute references an id that appears multiple times in the DOM.

Fix

Ensure all elements referenced by ARIA attributes have unique IDs and update the references accordingly.
