Digital Hall of Fame ARIA-Selected Audit for Tabs and Filter Results
A digital hall of fame ARIA-selected audit is a structured review confirming that every sport-category tab, era filter button, custom filter listbox, and inductee detail panel tab on your recognition platform carries a correct aria-selected attribute—so keyboard and assistive-technology users hear which option is currently chosen. Without this attribute, a visitor navigating your hall of fame with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, or TalkBack can move through a row of sport tabs—Football, Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball—and hear nothing that identifies which tab is currently active. The short answer for school administrators, athletic directors, and IT teams: identify every tab, listbox option, or selectable widget element that can be chosen; inspect each element in browser DevTools to confirm aria-selected carries the value "true" on the selected item and "false" on all others in the same set; verify the value updates dynamically when the visitor activates a different option; and confirm the announcement with NVDA or VoiceOver before each induction season.
