Potential A11y Violation:
Hidden interactive elements

Point of Failure

Elements with the aria-hidden attribute should not contain focusable (interactive) elements.

Available Automation Evaluation

In checking known available linting and testing tools, these are our findings.

Linting Could Exist

It's possible that a linting rule could be created for this potential failure.

Testing Exists

See the axe-core library for the aria-hidden-focus rule.

Other Test Methods

In addition to automated tests, there are other types of tests that could be conducted to prevent this potential violation.

Developer Authored Test Could Exist

Developers should make sure that their code does not violate this rule, and try to write a test that would prevent a regression in accessibility if the code is later changed.

Manual Test Exists

Review page and ensure the point of failure does not exist, inspecting the DOM where required.
