I'd also lean towards moving focus. The button label is priming users to expect new content to appear and it's reasonable to assume they'll want to interact with that new content straight away. But what form would the new section take? Is it predefined fields? Generic fields that the user must customise? That might affect how meaningful it will be for them to suddenly find themselves in an input field. If you leave focus where it is, users may expect the new content to appear immediately after the button not before and so start navigating in the wrong direction. You could consider adding a screen reader only description to the button to clarify what will happen. - - - Nick Bromley Director & Accessibility Consultant Red Kite Digital Accessibility Ltd From: Michael Livesey <mike.j.livesey@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, November 24, 2023 7:48 PM To: WAI Interest Group discussion list <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Subject: 2.4.3 focus order and additional content Hi all, We have been having a discussion about accordions where the user can add additional sections. e.g. see image fig 1. below. Suppose that clicking the add section button adds another section to the form directly under shipping. These sections can also be taller in height than the screen. One member of the team thinks that it would be contrary to 2.4.3 to keep the focus on the button after clicking it because the user would have to reverse tab back into the added content. Another member of the team thinks that to jump focus all the way back to the first field of the added section would be disorientating to the user. Any suggestions would be most appreciated on whether either of the two options meet or contravene the criterion 2.4.3 would be most appreciated. fig 1.
