Re: Where should I expect the focus?

Hi Venkatesh,
As long as it's clear to a user that the tab has expanded, and it's possible to get to the contents of that expanded tab using the keyboard (probably the arrow keys), I think the focus could remain on the name of the tab itself. Consider this example, where the focus does not change but the tab says "expanded" or "collapsed" when activated. I use a screen reader, so I'm not sure what this looks like visually, but I know it's an accessible (to me at least) option.

I hope this is helpful to you.
