File Preview Card Group Accessibility

Best Practices

A file preview card group must use a semantic list, with each card in a list item. Each image must have alternative text that identifies the file, unless the same information is adjacent.

Repeated card actions must have names that identify their target file. Decorative file and action icons must be hidden from assistive technology.

Interaction Design

Keyboard

TAB moves through links and buttons in DOM order. The group itself does not add a tab stop.

Screen Reader

A screen reader announces the list length, each card's content, and the accessible name of each action.

Pointer

Clicking or tapping a card action performs that action for its file.
