What's the difference between HTML 'hidden' and 'aria-hidden' attributes?
I have been seeing the aria attribute all over while working with Angular Material. Can someone explain to me, what the aria prefix means? but most importantly what I'm trying to understand is the difference between aria-hidden and hidden attribute. Leo Farmer ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) defines a way to make Web content and Web applications more accessible to people with disabilities. The hidden attribute is new in HTML5 and tells browsers not to display the element. The aria-hidden property tells screen-readers if they should ignore the element. Have a look at the w3 docs
