Bootstrap follows common web standards and—with minimal extra effort—can be used to create sites that are accessible to those using AT.
Skip navigation
- If your navigation contains many links and comes before the main content in the DOM, add a Skip to main content
link before the navigation (read why). Using the .sr-only
class will visually hide the skip link, and the .sr-only-focusable
class will ensure that the link becomes visible once focused (for sighted keyboard users).
+ If your navigation contains many links and comes before the main content in the DOM, add a Skip to main content
link before the navigation (for a simple explanation, see this A11Y Project article on skip navigation links). Using the .sr-only

Due to long-standing shortcomings/bugs in Chrome (see issue 262171 in the Chromium bug tracker) and Internet Explorer (see this article on in-page links and focus order), you will need to make sure that the target of your skip link is at least programmatically focusable by adding tabindex="-1"
.
+
In addition, you may want to explicitly suppress a visible focus indication on the target (particularly as Chrome currently also sets focus on elements with tabindex="-1"
when they are clicked with the mouse) with #content:focus { outline: none; }
.
+
Note that this bug will also affect any other in-page links your site may be using, rendering them useless for keyboard users. You may consider adding a similar stop-gap fix to all other named anchors / fragment identifiers that act as link targets.
