2.4.11 — Focus Not Obscured (Minimum)
Level AA Operable
Operational summary
IF a control receives keyboard focus, author-created content must not hide it entirely. Review sticky headers, consent banners and overlays. Apply the criterion notes for user-movable content and user-opened content that can be dismissed without advancing focus.
This is an original implementation summary, not replacement normative text. The sources below supply the precise requirement, its definitions and its qualifications.
