Focus styling
One of the most significant things you can do to improve the accessibility of your work is to create highly visible focus indicators . There are many people with disabilities that use a keyboard and rely on focus indicators to see where their cursor is on the screen.
Tabbing through this section shows a
very
subtle focus outline. In this case,
outline: none
is used to remove the blue glowing webkit outline, likely because someone didn't like the look of the blue glow. Instead they add a subtle outline for the focus state. Too subtle. Tab through and see for yourself:
- How do I login to the system?
- How do I reset my password?
- How do I enable 2 factor authentication?
- How do I login on my cell phone?
Now that you've tabbed through, change the class on the
<ul role="complementary">
to include
class="half"
and then tab through again. Go ahead... I'll wait right here.
For your final time tabbing through, change it to
class="full"
to see an even better focus style.
