Hello Telerik team,

Our customer uses RadMenu as a navigation menu and utilizes https://hub.accessible360.com/ to guide their accessibility checks. Based on the results, they have shared the following suggestions for improving accessibility:

Navigation menus that open on hover must also be operable by keyboard and screen reader users. Depending on the desired functionality of the top-level navigation items, there are two recommended approaches:

  • If the top-level item only triggers a submenu and does not navigate to a new page, it should be marked up as a <button>. Refer to the appropriate code sample for implementation guidance ( code sample )

  • If the top-level item must both navigate to a page and open a submenu, an adjacent <button> should be added to control the submenu. Refer to the corresponding code sample for details ( code sample )

  • If visual design constraints prevent displaying a separate visible button, the button can be visually hidden by default and revealed on focus, as demonstrated in the linked code sample (code sample)

Is there a way to implement these recommendations using RadMenu?

 

Thanks in advance,

Lan
