Pagination
Considerations
Note the use of the cluster layout helper.
Note how the pagination links meet the requirements of WCAG Success Criterion 2.5.5: Target Size (AAA).
The aria-label
attribute has been added to the nav
element. This is because the main website navigation also uses the nav
element. Where there are multiplenav
elements on a single page, all must be given a unique accessible name via aria-label
.
For all pagination links excluding the current page, span class="visuallyhidden">page</span
is added to provide additional context to the link wording for users of Assistive Technology.
The current page is indicated by aria-current="page"
. As per the breadcrumbs component, it is fully linked so that users of Assistive Technology can find which is the currently active link. The aria-label
on the current page link provides the same additional context as the visually-hidden span on other pagination links.
