The Accessible Interaction States Pattern
Explore how to build accessible interaction states in CSS that respond clearly to user actions like hover, focus, and active. Understand the importance of visible focus indicators and inclusive styles for keyboard and screen reader users. Learn to implement patterns that enhance interaction clarity across various UI components.
The Accessible Interaction States pattern is all about making sure our UI responds clearly and inclusively to user interactions—whether that’s hover, focus, active, disabled, or ARIA-driven state changes. This also help ensure that users can clearly perceive and navigate through an interface, regardless of their input method or abilities. By providing visible focus styles, hover feedback, active cues, and disabled states, we make interactions understandable and inclusive, especially for keyboard users and screen reader users.
