Rachel Andrew - A solution for the visual and source order disconnect

+++ A solution for the visual and source order disconnect +++ by Rachel Andrew +++

Using grid layout to position items can sometimes result in a disconnected tab order, creating challenges for accessibility. While avoiding reordering has traditionally been the advice, this approach limits some of the powerful features of grid layout. A new solution is on the horizon! In this talk, I’ll introduce the reading-flow property and discuss the work being done by the CSS Working Group to address this issue.
