I\'m working on a web page, and I want custom-styled tags. So with CSS, I said:
border: none
. Now it works perfectly in safari, but
Another way to solve the accessibility problem that hasn't been mentioned here yet is through a little bit of Javascript. Credits go this insightful blogpost from hackernoon: https://hackernoon.com/removing-that-ugly-focus-ring-and-keeping-it-too-6c8727fefcd2
The approach here is really simple yet effective: Adding a class when people start using the tab-key to navigate the page (and optionally remove it when the switch to mouse again. Then you can use this class to either display a focus outline or not.
function handleFirstTab(e) {
if (e.keyCode === 9) { // the "I am a keyboard user" key
document.body.classList.add('user-is-tabbing');
window.removeEventListener('keydown', handleFirstTab);
}
}
window.addEventListener('keydown', handleFirstTab);
