A menu that appears only after the user navigates past a certain section of the web page. The menu normally has links to various regions within a web page. These links that seem like intra-page links and may get highlighted with color to indicate that the user has reached its corresponding region within the web page. A varied example of this menu can be seen at: https://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/
How can we make the appearance and disappearance of a menu accessible to users of screen readers? How do we indicate the use of color as a selection on a sticky menu link when a user reaches its corresponding region? And how does one make a sticky menu keyboard accessible?
Thanks!
