Keyboard access
How does ARIA enhance keyboard access?
By extending the use of HTML’s
tabindex
attribute:
tabindex = “0”
: extends HTML’s tabindex attribute so
all
elements can be accessed using keyboard (
not just anchors, form elements
) .
tabindex=”-1”
: allows elements to be given programmatic focus without adding them to the tab order.
