Interactive elements should be focusable JS-0751
Performance
Minor
Elements with an interactive role and interaction handlers (mouse or key press) must be focusable as it will be helpful for keyboard and screen reader users.
Bad Practice
<!-- Bad: span with onClick attribute has no tabindex -->
<span onclick="submitForm();" role="button">Submit</span>
<!-- Bad: anchor element without href is not focusable -->
<a onclick="showNextPage();" role="button">Next page</a>
Recommended
<!-- Good: div with onClick attribute is hidden from screen reader -->
<div aria-hidden onClick={() => void 0} />
<!-- Good: span with onClick attribute is in the tab order -->
<span onClick="doSomething();" tabIndex="0" role="button">Click me!</span>
<!-- Good: span with onClick attribute may be focused programmatically -->
<span onClick="doSomething();" tabIndex="-1" role="menuitem">Click me too!</span>
<!-- Good: anchor element with href is inherently focusable -->
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="doSomething();">Click ALL the things!</a>
<!-- Good: buttons are inherently focusable -->
<button onClick="doSomething();">Click the button :)</button>
