Accessibility

In This Topic

The TabPanel implements WAI-ARIA accessibility guidelines that allow you to use all interactive UI components using a keyboard. All tab elements have the proper role attributes as well as all applicable ARIA attributes.

The example below assigns unique IDs to the tab headers and panes, which TabPanel automatically uses to generate "aria-controls" and "aria-labelledby" attributes. Moreover, it also adds a "wj-state-active" class to the "Product" pane in markup to define the tab that is initially selected. Otherwise, the first tab will be selected by default. For more information, see W3C ARIA standards and Simple Accessible article.

The following image shows how the TabPanel control appears with ARIA accessibility support.

The following code example demonstrates how to use ARIA accessibility support features.
