FOCUS ORDER and Accessibility

Can't get FOCUS ORDER to read the layers underneath as the learner tabs through the buttons (tabs) on the left side. Am I supposed to add a trigger at each layer to get the Screen Readers to read these layers?

  • The base layer buttons to show those layers should be above each layer's content in the focus order. 

    For example, if Button 1 shows Layer 1 and Layer 1 has 3 text boxes, and Button 2 shows Layer 2 and Layer 2 has 1 text box, the focus order should be:

    Button 1

    Layer 1 text box 1 

    Layer 1 text box 2

    Layer 1 text box 3

    Button 2

    Layer 2 text box 1

    Also, remember that for a screen reader, text is navigated to with arrow keys. You'll tab to interactive content, then arrow to text.
