WAI-ARIA APG: Grid Pattern

Defines grid as an interactive composite widget with one item in the page tab sequence, managed focus movement, data-grid versus layout-grid distinctions, arrow/Home/End/Page navigation, selection shortcuts, editing entry and exit conventions, grid roles, aria-sort, aria-selected, aria-readonly, and row or column count and index properties.

Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Data grid Choose data grid when row-and-column data is interactive enough to require managed cell focus, arrow-key movement, selection, editing, or keyboard shortcuts. Tab moves into the grid at one managed focus point and out to the next page control rather than visiting every cell by default. APG grid guidance supports the core data-grid interaction model, keyboard navigation, editing boundary, selection, focus management, and ARIA roles and states.
