Focus and Content Order

What are they?

Focus order is the order that the user will tab through interactive elements. The focus order will match the content order, except for very rare edge cases.

The content order is for everything else. Will talk about this more in the next section.

Why is it important?

• They create the paths for your keyboard and blind screen reader users
• Sighted keyboard users perceive the page in two dimensions, but interact with it linearly
• Screen readers users perceive the page and interact with it linearly
