Description
A collection of commonly used function buttons or controls represented in compact visual form.
The toolbar is often a subset of functions found in a menubar, designed to reduce user effort in using these functions. Authors MUST supply a label on each toolbar when the application contains more than one toolbar.
Authors MAY manage focus of descendants for all instances of this role, as described in Managing Focus.
Elements with the role toolbar have an implicit aria-orientation value of horizontal.
