Document structure role

Removes an element's implicit role from the accessibility tree while keeping its children accessible, so the element becomes a passive wrapper. It's the original name for the behavior now also spelled role='none'. Typical uses are layout tables and list markup you want stripped of list semantics.

Used on
Any element whose implicit semantics should be removed.
Accessible name
Not applicable — naming is prohibited.
Example
role="presentation"
<table role="presentation">…layout only…</table>
