Accessibility

Remember to use the correct role, aria-, tabindex and html-attributes for the menu options.

Closed menu

<button
  type="button"
  role="menuitem"  aria-expanded="false"  aria-haspopup="true"  aria-controls="<id-for-menu-to-toggle>"  id="<id-for-menu-initiator>"  class="if โ€ฆ"
>
  โ€ฆ
</button>
<nav
  class="if contextual-menu"  tabindex="-1"  role="menu"  aria-labelledby="<id-for-menu-initiator>"  id="<id-for-menu-to-toggle>"
>
  <ul class="if">
    <li class="if">      <button tabindex="-1" role="menuitem" class="if" type="button">โ€ฆ</button>
    </li>
  </ul>
</nav>
Closed menu

Here you see the markup of a closed menu. We have included a menu initiator in the markup to couple tings together.

The initiator

  • Has aria-expanded, which is toggled depending on the state; set to false
  • Has aria-haspopup to indicate that this initiator has a popup/menu associated with it.
  • Has aria-controls to reference the menu that the initiator controls. This must be an unique identifier, and the same value as the id of the menu.
  • id is used as reference for the menu.

The menu holder

  • Has tabindex="-1", because it is not opened yet, and we do not want the user to tab into it yet.
  • Has role set to menu, to get the semantics in order and to indicate that this is a menu.
  • Has aria-labelledby, to reference the element that is used as the label for this menu.

The menu action

  • Has tabindex="-1", because it is not available yet, and we do not want the user to tab into it yet.
  • Has role set to menuitem, to get the semantics in order and to indicate that this is a menu item.
<button
  type="button"
  role="menuitem"  aria-expanded="true"  aria-haspopup="true"  aria-controls="<id-for-menu-to-toggle>"  id="<id-for-menu-initiator>"  class="if โ€ฆ"
>
  โ€ฆ
</button>
<nav
  class="if contextual-menu is-open"  role="menu"  aria-labelledby="<id-for-menu-initiator>"  id="<id-for-menu-to-toggle>">
  <ul class="if is-open">
    <li class="if">
      <button role="menuitem" class="if" type="button">โ€ฆ</button>    </li>
  </ul>
</nav>
Opened menu

Here you see the markup of an opened menu. We have included a menu initiator in the markup to couple tings together.

We only cover the changed attributes here.

The initiator

  • Has aria-expanded, which is toggled depending on the state; set to true

The menu holder

  • Has tabindex="-1" removed, since the menu is now open

The menu action

  • Has tabindex="-1" removed, since the menu is now open
