Distinguish if actionable

For systems that include static and interactive components, people may need interactive components to be clearly distinguishable visually and programmatically from static content.

Notes

Partial 4.2.5 Making Content Usable

Examples:

• Disabled buttons gray out with a contrast that sufficiently different compared to the enabled state.
• A screen reader announces actionable elements, such as buttons and links (including if they are in a disabled state) because of good markup.
• Actionable buttons are backlit with an LED.
• An error tone is given immediately when a person try to type text in a field that does not currently accept text input.
• Fields that are not available in the current context are hidden, so there is no need to distinguish between actionable and non-actionable components.
