This is the short summary — a long-form breakdown (with code examples, common failures, and fix patterns) is queued for this criterion. In the meantime, the official W3C document linked at the end of the page is the authoritative source.
Quick checks
- Run axe DevTools against the page and filter for rules citing 2.3.3.
- Navigate the component with Tab + Enter only and confirm nothing is orphaned.
