WCAG 2.0 AA Compliance
Section 2.4.7
Any keyboard operable user interface has a mode of operation where the keyboard focus indicator is visible.
By default this shouldn't be a problem, but if you wish to make your elements more apparent when focus is on them, such as a keyboard "tabbed" over it, use CSS to provide the focus properties:
.element-class a:hover, .element-class a:active, .element-class a:focus {
background-color: #000000;
color: #ffffff;
}You also need to avoid removing the outline attribute from CSS. To be safe, make sure that your a:focus attributes for any <a> tag do not modify the outline or border properties.
