What We Know (So Far) About CSS Reading Order
- The reading-flow and reading-order proposed CSS properties determine the source order of HTML elements in the DOM tree for accessibility tools.
- Reading-flow values like flex-visual and grid-order help match focus order to the visual order of elements.
- Reading-flow properties include flex-visual, grid-rows, grid-columns, grid-order, source-order, among others.
- Reading-flow establishes focus orders in flex or grid layouts, ensuring a logical sequence for accessibility.
- Reading-order, similar to the 'order' property, specifies the order of specific flex or grid items for accessibility.
- By setting reading-flow to source-order, reading-order can then be used to control the focus order of elements.
- Reading-order values work differently from HTML 'tabindex' attributes, offering more flexibility in defining focus order.
- Reading-flow and reading-order properties are currently supported in Chrome 137+ for enhancing accessibility in web design.
- These CSS properties allow for adjusting focus order to match visual order, aiding in meeting Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
- Using reading-order enables proper use of the 'order' property in flexbox and grid layouts for improved accessibility and usability.
