Description Jacob Rask 2010-04-30 12:55:47 CEST

An element with role=menuitem inside an element with role=menubar returns the following error:
"An element with role=menuitem requires role=menu on the parent."

This is incorrect, as the ARIA specification reads:
"menuitem (role)
An option in a group of choices contained by a menu or menubar."
<http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#menuitem>

An example with a menuitem in a menubar is even included in the ARIA specification.
