Info and Relationships
Ensure information, structure, and relationships conveyed through presentation can be programmatically determined or are available in text. This means use proper HTML elements to structure your content, so it makes sense when read by assistive technology.
WCAG 2.1 Understanding 1.3.1Focus Order

WCAG 2.1 Understanding 2.4.3Name, Role, Value
For all user interface components (including but not limited to: form elements, links and components generated by scripts), the name and role can be programmatically determined; states, properties, and values that can be set by the user can be programmatically set; and notification of changes to these items is available to user agents, including assistive technologies.
