Re: Clickable all over the webpage

In my experience it means that they have a JavaScript click event attached to an element without a role and without any keyboard focusability or keyboard keypress events.

So it could be a <span> or <div> or <a> without the href.

VoiceOver users can press control+option+spacebar to "click" the element with the mouse but you can't press enter or spacebar key to activate it unless it's actually accessible.
