Web Accessibility at the University of California
The Challenge
People with visual, neuromuscular, or other impairments generally cannot use a mouse to navigate through Web pages; instead, they typically use a keyboard. Making a site keyboard-accessible helps ensure that they can access the content.
Solutions
Most Web pages have a logical tab order, but when you are building a form or have a particular order in which you want the user to navigate, it is important to specify a logical tab order through links, form controls, and objects. In some browsers, the Tab key is enabled to navigate between links and controls. When a user presses the Tab key, the focus automatically moves to the first link or control. As a user continues to press the Tab key, the focus moves to subsequent links or controls.
