axe-core rule: aria-required-parent

ARIA roles are missing their required parent role

Fix reference | BarrierScan

What it is

An element has a role that must live inside a specific parent role (for example role="tab" outside any role="tablist"), so assistive technology cannot place it in a widget structure.

Who it blocks

Screen reader users get fragments of a widget that do not behave as a unit.

How to fix it

Wrap the element in a container with the required parent role.

Example fix

<!-- Before -->
<button role="tab">Reviews</button>

<!-- After -->
<div role="tablist" aria-label="Product information">
  <button role="tab" aria-selected="true">Reviews</button>
</div>
