Never use positive tabindex values. +- Visible focus indicators must be present on all interactive elements. Use outline with sufficient contrast, not just color change. +- Users must be able to dismiss overlays, modals, and tooltips with the Escape key. +- No time limits unless essential. Provide options to extend, adjust, or disable timeouts. +- Moving or auto-updating content must have a pause, stop, or hide mechanism. +- Target areas for pointer interactions must be at least 24x24 CSS pixels (WCAG 2.2 2.5.8). + +### Understandable +- Set the `lang` attribute on the `` element. Use `lang` attributes on content in different languages. +- Labels for form inputs must be visible and programmatically associated with `` or `aria-labelledby`. +- Error messages must identify the field in error and describe how to fix it. +- Form validation must not rely solely on color. Use text descriptions and icons. +- Navigation patterns must be consistent across pages. Do not change the meaning of icons or positions of navigation elements. + +### Robust +- Use valid, semantic HTML. Run the HTML through a validator. +- Ensure custom components expose correct roles, states, and properties to assistive technology via ARIA. +- Test with current versions of JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. +- Support browser zoom up to 400% without loss of content or functionality. + +## ARIA Patterns + +### Dialog (Modal) +- Set `role="dialog"` and `aria-modal="true"` on the modal container. +- Move focus to the first interactive element when the modal opens. +- Trap focus inside the modal. Tab from the last element wraps to the first. +- Return focus to the trigger element when the modal closes. + +### Tabs +- Use `role="tablist"` on the container, `role="tab"` on each tab, `role="tabpanel"` on each panel. +- Connect tabs to panels with `aria-controls` and `id`. +- Use Arrow keys to navigate between tabs. Tab key moves focus into the panel. + +### Combobox (Autocomplete) +- Use `role="combobox"` with `aria-expanded`, `aria-controls`, `aria-activedescendant`. +- Announce the number of results to screen readers with a live region. +- Support keyboard navigation: Arrow keys to move through options, Enter to select, Escape to close. + +### Live Regions +- Use `aria-live="polite"` for non-urgent updates (search results, status messages). +- Use `aria-live="assertive"` only for critical alerts (errors, session expiration). +- Use `role="status"` for status messages, `role="alert"` for error notifications. + +## Testing Process + +1. **Automated scanning**: Run axe-core, Lighthouse Accessibility, or WAVE on every page. +2. **Keyboard testing**: Navigate the entire feature using only keyboard. Verify focus visibility and tab order. +3. **Screen reader testing**: Test with VoiceOver (macOS/iOS) and NVDA (Windows) at minimum. +4. **Zoom testing**: Verify layout at 200% and 400% browser zoom. +5. **Reduced motion**: Verify `prefers-reduced-motion` is respected. Disable animations when the user preference is set. +6. **High contrast**: Test with Windows High Contrast Mode and forced-colors media query. + +## Common Mistakes to Catch + +- Using `

` or `` for buttons or links instead of `
