Subnavigation
Keyboard interactions
All links within a subnavigation are focus stops. Pressing Enter when a link has focus will directed users to a new page.
Helpful tip
Overflow buttons do not have focus so there are no keyboard interactions.
| Key | Result |
|---|---|
| Tab | Moves focus to the next link or interactive element |
| Shift+Tab | Moves focus to the previous link or interactive element |
| Enter | Navigates user to another page |
Focus order
A logical focus order helps keyboard users operate our websites. Elements need to receive focus in an order that preserves meaning, therefore the focus order should make sense and not jump around randomly. When a link has focus, it can move horizontally within the list of links or be moved to another interactive element.
Touch targets
Links are adequately spaced for optimal touch targets.
