  <h2>An Update of Apple's CSS Menu with Focus Trapping and Autofocus</h2>
  <p>This menu is built upon the ideas of Apple's responsive menu <a id="item1" href="https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/">here</a>, stripped down without extras like CSS animation.</p>
  <p>It has the following change and - I hope - improvement:</p>
  <ol>
    <li>Toggling between the open and close anchor tag will autofocus between them.</li>
    <li>Content will be hidden when menu is open, preventing content being focused.</li>
  </ol>
  <h3>Trap Focus by Removing Content</h3>
  <p>Without JavaScript, the ideal solution to trap focus would have been the ill-fated <code>nav-index</code> CSS property, alas it's gone.</p>
  <p>So the only other solution is to remove everything else so there's nothing <i>to</i> focus beside the menu.</p>
  <p>Doing this is disorienting for the user though.</p>
  <h3>Tab Order Issue</h3>
  <p>Because the anchors needs to auto-focus (set :target to self) and also set <code>display</code> property for contents, it means the anchor tag must live on the same level as the content elements. This makes the HTML structure a bit weird. The anchor tag must live outside of the header, and because it must alter label state it needs to be placed ahead of the header.</p>
  <p>Unfortunately, this means the anchor tags is placed ahead of the header for tab order, creating confusion if you have any other focusable element in the header besides the menu, a hyperlinked logo, for instance.</p>
  <p>You'd think it can be solved with <code>taborder</code>, but because the default tab order is 0 and negative value removes it from tab order, you cannot selectively place an element ahead of everything else - there's nothing between 0 and negative, a gross oversight in my opinion.</p>
  <p>Of course you can do the opposite, but adding tabindex for every other focusable element on the entire page is an unfeasible proposition.</p>
  <p>So for me the solution as it currently stands is not optimal, I will probably revisit it.</p>
