React / Next.js

Common Pitfalls

Pattern	Issue	Fix
onClick on <div>	Not keyboard accessible	Use <button> or add role="button", tabIndex={0}, onKeyDown
dangerouslySetInnerHTML	May inject inaccessible content	Audit injected HTML for ARIA, headings, alt text
Missing key on lists	Can cause focus loss on re-render	Use stable keys (not array index) for interactive lists
Portal without focus trap	Focus escapes to background	Wrap portal in FocusTrap component
No useEffect focus management on route change	Focus not moved after navigation	Use useRef + useEffect to move focus to #main-content

Fix Templates

// Route change focus management
useEffect(() => {
  const main = document.getElementById('main-content');
  if (main) { main.focus(); main.scrollIntoView(); }
}, [location]);

// Image with alt (Next.js)
<Image src="/hero.jpg" width={800} height={400} alt="Team collaborating in a modern office" />

// New tab link with warning
<a href={url} target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
  Resource <span className="sr-only">(opens in new tab)</span>
</a>

Vue

Common Pitfalls

Pattern	Issue	Fix
v-if on live regions	Removes element from DOM	Use v-show for live regions instead
<transition> without focus	Focus lost on transition	Manage focus in @after-enter hook
<teleport> to body	Outside app landmark tree	Add landmark roles to teleported content

Fix Template

<!-- v-show keeps element in DOM for live region announcements -->
<div v-show="message" aria-live="polite">{{ message }}</div>

Angular

Common Pitfalls

Pattern	Issue	Fix
[aria-label] binding	Invalid - ARIA is not a property	Use [attr.aria-label]
*ngFor without trackBy	Focus loss on list re-render	Add trackBy function
No LiveAnnouncer for routes	Navigation not announced	Inject LiveAnnouncer and announce route changes

Fix Template

// Announce route changes
this.router.events.pipe(filter(e => e instanceof NavigationEnd))
  .subscribe(() => this.liveAnnouncer.announce(`Navigated to ${this.getPageTitle()}`));

Svelte

Common Pitfalls

Pattern	Issue	Fix
{#if} without focus management	Focus lost when content appears	Use use:action to focus new content
transition: without motion check	Animations play regardless of user preference	Add prefers-reduced-motion check

Fix Template

<script>
  const reducedMotion = window.matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)').matches;
</script>
<div transition:fly={{ y: reducedMotion ? 0 : 200, duration: reducedMotion ? 0 : 300 }}>
  Content
</div>

Tailwind CSS

Common Pitfalls

Pattern	Issue	Fix
outline-none alone	Removes focus indicator	Pair with focus-visible:ring-2
text-gray-400 on bg-white	2.85:1 - fails 4.5:1	Use text-gray-700 (6.62:1)
No motion-reduce: variant	Animations ignore user preference	Add motion-reduce:transition-none

Contrast-Safe Tailwind Pairs

Background	Minimum Text	Ratio
bg-white	text-gray-600	4.55:1
bg-white	text-gray-700	6.62:1
bg-gray-50	text-gray-700	6.29:1
bg-gray-900	text-gray-300	5.92:1
bg-blue-600	text-white	5.23:1

Focus Ring Fix

<!-- Bad -->
<button class="outline-none">Submit</button>

<!-- Good -->
<button class="focus:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-blue-500 focus-visible:ring-offset-2">
  Submit
</button>
