Principle 2 Operable · Guideline 2.4: Navigable
2.4.1 Bypass Blocks
Repeated blocks such as navigation must be skippable.
What this means in practice
Without a skip link, keyboard users tab through the entire menu on every page. A “Skip to content” link as the first focusable element is enough – but it must become visible on focus.
What Wave Access contributes
Wave Access stellt Sprungmarken bereit, erkennt die echten Ziel-IDs des Themes und entfernt die eigene Leiste, wenn das Theme bereits Sprunglinks mitbringt.
Normative wording
The binding text lives at the W3C. What you read here is our own faithful rendering – not a quotation.
