Re: data table pagination - focus position?

Hi Diane,

I hope the new page loaded contains only the new set of records in the table.
If each time activating Next page just adds number of columns to the
table keeping the old record as well then the focus need to move to
the newly loaded content.
Else as Glen and others suggested keep the focus on the button and
provide user an accessible notification that the new page has been
loaded as there are many quick navigation keys through which the
screen reader user can shift the focus.


Thanks & Regards,
Mohith B. P.
