There are lots of articles and resources on the Internet which talk about the theory of the accessibility matter. However, there are not many technical articles which explain how the standards are really implemented or how a web developer has to implement them.
This first article focuses on how to give the… focus on a non-focusable HTML element with jQuery.
It extends (and I hope, completes) the original article written by C. Blouch and published on the Donald F. Evans’s website.
