Accessible Routing in JavaScript Frameworks
- A Deque article by Mark Steadman, describing how to handle transitions between page loads in Single Page Applications. Ideally the focus would go to a
<h1>, or failing that, it should go to the body of the page. In either case, the focussed element needs atabindex="-1"so that JavaScript can assign focus. As a last resort, you could instead shift focus to the “skip to main content” link if you have one, but should also usearia-liveto announce to the screen reader that the page has changed.
