Section Title Accessibility

Best Practices

The title must use the heading level that correctly nests the section in the page hierarchy. Do not choose a heading level for its visual size.

Calls to action must use descriptive link text. Icon-only infotip and menu buttons must have accessible names, and their icons must be hidden from assistive technology.

Interaction Design

Keyboard

The title itself is not focusable. TAB moves to any link, infotip button, or menu button in the section title.

Screen Reader

A screen reader announces the heading level and title, followed by optional subtitle and actions in source order.

Pointer

Clicking or tapping an action follows its link or opens its associated disclosure.
