HTML Guides for boolean
Learn how to identify and fix common HTML validation errors flagged by the W3C Validator — so your pages are standards-compliant and render correctly across every browser. Also check our Accessibility Guides.
The attribute aria-hidden must have a value of "true" (without extra quotes) or "false", not "\"true\"" (with double quotes inside the value).
The aria-hidden attribute is used to indicate whether an element and its children should be accessible to assistive technologies (like screen readers). Valid values are the strings "true" or "false" (without embedded quotation marks). Using extra quotation marks causes the validator to flag a bad value because the attribute’s value is interpreted literally.
Incorrect Example:
<div aria-hidden='"true"'>This is hidden from assistive tech</div>
Correct Example:
<div aria-hidden="true">This is hidden from assistive tech</div>
or
<div aria-hidden="false">This is visible to assistive tech</div>
Remove any extra quotation marks around your attribute value to resolve the error.
