Random web #a11y question:

Brett Ritter

If I have a dropdown menu of links using a button as the main choices to trigger the dropdown, but want to just present the list of links to a screen reader, what do I do with the buttons?

aria-hidden shouldn't be placed on focusable elements, and the button content is relevant text anyway, but a button that doesn't need to be a control for screen readers feels confusing, and requiring the button be focused as for non-screenreaders feels pointless.

@swiftone I think we do a decent job with https://helios.hashicorp.design//components/dropdown?tab=code

Check out the rendered code in the browser, see if it makes sense to you.
