Implicit Value for Role:

  • Default for aria-checked (state) is false.

A menuitem with a checkable state whose possible values are true, false, or mixed.

The aria-checked attribute of a menuitemcheckbox indicates whether the menu item is checked (true), unchecked (false), or represents a sub-level menu of other menu items that have a mixture of checked and unchecked values (mixed).

Authors must ensure that menu item checkboxes are owned by an element with role menu or menubar in order to identify that they are related widgets. Authors may separate menu items into sets by use of a separator or an element with an equivalent role from the native markup language.
