If multiple elements have the same tabindex, elements earlier in the DOM will occur before elements later in the DOM. First, focus proceeds through elements with a tabindex greater than 0, in ascending order.A page’s focus order is calculated as follows: Elements with a negative tabindex can receive focus through scripting but not through keyboard tabbing.Ī web page’s focus order must preserve a page’s meaning and promote ease of use. Form controls and buttons (unless the element is disabled)įor an otherwise unfocusable element to become focusable, it must have a tabindex attribute.The following elements can receive focus: In most browsers, users can move focus by pressing the Tab key and the Shift + Tab keys. Exactly one element is able to have focus in a time. When an HTML element is able to handle keyboard input, it is said to have focus.

Keyboard focus should be trapped within a component,.All functionality should be operable through a keyboard without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes.To meet the accessibility needs for these populations, user interfaces should meet a number of requirements: WebAIM provides a nice summary of the issues surrounding keyboard accessibility. It is common for users with disabilities to use an external keyboard with a mobile device, especially if those users find touch gestures difficult. It is important to note that keyboard operability is also a concern with mobile devices. User interfaces should be implemented in such a way that they can be used without a mouse.
In these cases, the user likely uses a screen reader, keyboard, or emulated keyboard.
