Role for Nav

Hi,

 

I'm wondering what role people are using for navigation areas on their sites.

Looking at the descriptions for the different roles I'm left feeling a bit unsure what one I should be using.

    Are you referring to the WAI-ARIA role attribute? If so, it should be this:

     

    <nav role="navigation">

    Oh right, that makes more sence.

     

    The book I have just finshed reading on the subjet only listed the following roles:

     

    document

    article

    definition

    directory

    heading

    img

    list

    listitem

    math

    note

    pressentation

    row

    rowheader

     

     

    As you can see I was unsure as to what one to use.
