Accessibility

To ensure that the TermDefinition component is accessible, it uses semantic HTML elements and appropriate ARIA attributes.

  • All content inside the TermDefinition can be selected when it is open.
  • Clicking anywhere outside the TermDefinition, or pressing Escape, closes it.
  • The trigger looks like an Anchor but is actually a semantic button.
  • It is fully focusable and works with keyboard navigation.
  • The trigger is aligned to the left side of the word for better readability (not centered).
  • Screen readers read the word (its children) first and then announce that the trigger can be activated to show more information.
  • When the TermDefinition opens, it receives focus and the screen reader announces its content.
  • When it closes, focus returns to the trigger so keyboard users keep their place in the document.
  • The close button is placed last in the tab order, making it easy for keyboard users to reach after reading the content.
  • It also closes automatically when focus moves outside the TermDefinition or when the Escape key is pressed.
  • The trigger shows the hover style of an Anchor when open.
