I've got an aspx web application that uses an unordered list tags to parse a tab menu inside a master page. My question is: is it ok to use an ul tag according to WCAG 2.0 AA?
<div id="divTabsId">
<ul>
<li class="home" id="elementId">
<a href="xxx.aspx">
Start</a>
</li>
<li>
<a id="elementId2" href="zz.aspx">
T1</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="yyy.aspx">
Help</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
There is nothing wrong with using ul tag. But adding the appropriate aria tags in addition to it would be useful, such as role="menu" to the ul.
Please see W3 recommendation here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Using_ARIA_menus
Depending on your requirement you could read up these roles:
role="menu"

role="menu-item"
