I feel like a broken record (you know, the really old ones made of vinyl) repeating myself over and over about keyboard accessibility, but unfortunately things don’t really seem like they’re getting better. There are so many places on the Web that are annoying, difficult or plain impossible to use without a mouse. And it really shouldn’t be that way.
So please, when you build websites or web apps, or when you showcase a CSS, HTML or JavaScript technique (especially when you showcase a CSS, HTML or JavaScript technique), keep the following in mind:
- Tabbing order
- Visual feedback
- No keyboard traps
- Keyboard operability
