Observation Details

Footnote icon does not receive focus on dialog window close


When dynamically added content can be activated by the user, correct focus order must be ensured. This includes:

  • Opening a dialog window

  • Expanding an accordion item

  • Dynamically loading more content (e.g. more products in a product list) via "Load more" button

Adding and removing dynamic content must not remove focus from the triggering element. E.g. a footnote or info icon opening (adding) a dialog window. When the dialog window is closed (removed) again, focus must be on the triggering element.

Remediation Notes

Ensure, for all dynamically added and then removed content that can be activated by user,

  • keyboard focus

    • remains (e.g. collapsing/expanding accordion items) on the triggering element or

    • is set to (e.g. opening and closing a dialog window) the triggering element again.
