Diagnoses

Here is how rule engines diagnose the focusable element hidden issue for HTML element 206 of the Portland City Club page.

1. ARIA hidden element must not be focusable or contain focusable elements; Focusable content should have tabindex="-1", be removed from the DOM, or not be hidden with aria-hidden

   Rule engine: Axe (Deque)

   Rule: aria-hidden-focus

2. Element "div" should not be focusable within the subtree of an element with an 'aria-hidden' attribute with value 'true'

   Rule engine: Accessibility Checker (IBM)

   Rule: aria_hidden_nontabbable

3. Nothing focusable may sit inside aria-hidden="true"

   Rule engine: Pour (David Yarham and Geoffrey Crofte)

   Rule: aria-hidden-focus

4. aria-hidden div is focusable and contains 1 focusable descendant(s) (2 focusable element(s) total).

   Rule engine: SureA11y (Jorge Rumoroso)

   Rule: aria-hidden-focus
