This is the last example for the web aria accessibility implementation, where we will look at how we can visually represent the links on keyboard navigation.<\/p>\n

If you take an example of navigation links, here on anchor<\/strong> tags, we have a href<\/strong> attribute, which makes the anchor tag focusable by default where this black border\/outline<\/strong> comes while navigating through the keyboard TAB key.<\/p>\n

But here, we have to manage CSS styling in such a way that it looks presentable and clearly visible; look at the code solution given below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here, as you can see, the navigation links<\/strong> are focusable on keyboard navigation by blue color border\/outline,<\/strong> which you can customize as per the website’s theme.<\/p>\n
I hope these 6 blogs written on web aria accessibility give you an idea about the accessibility from overview to testing and implementation.<\/p>\n
