Summary
This Success Criterion requires that web pages do not change unexpectedly when users interact with them. When a user activates a component of a webpage, no unexpected change in context like opening a new window or shifting content should occur, ensuring predictable and accessible navigation.
Lyrics
VERSE 1: Navigate through pages, tab by tab I go But when my focus lands, please don’t steal the show Three point two point one, keep it predictable and clean No surprise submissions or windows on my screen Context is my anchor, stability my friend When I’m just exploring, don’t make my journey end Visual or motor, cognitive needs too We all deserve control over what we choose to do
CHORUS: Don’t shift my focus, let me be in control When I tab through your page, don’t change my goal On focus means I’m looking, not ready to commit Keep the context stable, let me choose when to submit Three point two point one, accessibility done right Don’t shift my focus, keep my journey in sight
VERSE 2: Dropdown menus waiting for my enter key Not jumping when I browse through what I need to see Activate not focus, that’s the trigger we should use Give me warning windows when there’s something new to choose Escape or tab away, I should freely move Without dialogs that trap me in an endless groove Predictable behavior builds the trust we need For everyone to browse at their own speed
CHORUS: Don’t shift my focus, let me be in control When I tab through your page, don’t change my goal On focus means I’m looking, not ready to commit Keep the context stable, let me choose when to submit Three point two point one, accessibility done right Don’t shift my focus, keep my journey in sight
BRIDGE/OUTRO:** Mouse or keyboard, however I explore Your interface should never close the door Focus is for browsing, action is my choice Three point two point one gives everyone a voice In this digital space where we all belong Keep it stable, keep it right, keep it strong
