Test your Urdu page for controls that only a mouse can use, so that everyone who relies on the keyboard can reach and trigger them too.
Quick Answer
The Urdu Keyboard Accessibility Tester reads the HTML you paste and looks for controls a keyboard cannot use: a click handler on an element that cannot be focused, a custom control with a role but no place in the tab order, and a positive tabindex that bends the order. Each finding is a pass, a warning, or an error. Everything runs in your browser.

What the Urdu Keyboard Accessibility Tester Does
The Urdu Keyboard Accessibility Tester reads the HTML you paste and looks for controls that work with a mouse but not with a keyboard. A great many people operate a page entirely from the keyboard, whether by choice or by need, and a control they cannot reach is a control that does not exist for them.
The tester finds the patterns that lock the keyboard out: a click handler placed on an element that cannot take focus, a custom control given a role but no place in the tab order, and a positive tabindex that bends the order out of shape. Each finding is a pass, a warning, or an error.
Everything runs on your own device. Your markup is never uploaded or stored, so it stays private while you work.
How to Test Keyboard Access
- Paste your HTML. Copy the markup of the page or section and paste it in.
- Read the findings. Each problem is described with the element it affects.
- Fix the errors first. Turn mouse-only controls into real buttons or focusable controls.
- Copy or download. Save the report to guide your edits.
Mouse-Only Controls
The classic mistake is to put a click handler on a plain <div> or <span> and style it to look like a button. A mouse can click it, but the keyboard cannot: a plain element does not take focus, so the Tab key skips past it and there is no way to press it. The tester marks any such element that has a click handler but cannot be focused as an error, because a whole group of users simply cannot use it. A real <button> solves this at once.
Custom Controls Need Focus
Sometimes an element is given a role, such as button, to tell assistive technology what it is. That is a good step, but a role alone does not make it focusable. Without a tabindex of zero, the keyboard still cannot reach it, so the role describes a control that a keyboard user cannot operate. The tester warns about a custom-role control that has no tabindex, so you can add one and make the control reachable, or switch to a native element that is focusable already.
Positive Tabindex
A positive tabindex, any value above zero, forces a control to jump ahead in the tab order. It is a fragile way to arrange focus: one stray value can pull the keyboard to the wrong place, and the hand-numbered order breaks the moment a control is added or moved. The tester flags every positive tabindex so you can replace it with tabindex zero and let the natural order of the markup carry the keyboard.

Who Uses This Tester
Web developers use it to catch mouse-only controls. Testers use it in an accessibility review. Teams use it before a launch.
Accuracy and Limits
The tester parses your markup with the browser’s own HTML parser and applies fixed rules, so its findings are consistent every time. It reads the static markup, so it can find a control that cannot be focused, but it cannot see whether a script adds a key handler at run time. A control it passes still needs a real keyboard test to confirm that Enter or Space triggers it.
Good to know: to see the order the keyboard moves in, the focus order tester lists every stop in turn.
Your Data Stays Private
The tester runs fully in your browser with standard web technology. Your markup is not uploaded or stored, and it is not sent to any analytics service. Only your star rating is sent, to record the tool’s rating. When you close the page, your markup is gone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Urdu Keyboard Accessibility Tester do?
It reads pasted HTML and finds controls a keyboard cannot use: a click handler on an element that cannot be focused, a custom-role control with no tabindex, and a positive tabindex.
Why is a clickable div a problem?
A plain div or span does not take focus, so the Tab key skips it and there is no way to press it; a mouse can click it but a keyboard user cannot reach or trigger it.
Does a role make an element focusable?
No. A role tells assistive technology what an element is, but the element still needs a tabindex of zero to join the tab order and be reachable by keyboard.
Why avoid a positive tabindex?
It forces a control to jump ahead in the order, so one stray value can misplace the focus, and the hand-numbered order breaks whenever a control is added or moved.
Can the tester confirm a key press works?
No. It reads the static markup and cannot see a script’s run-time handlers, so a control it passes still needs a real keyboard test for Enter or Space.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser. Your markup is never uploaded, saved, or shared.
Is this tool free?
Yes, it is completely free and needs no account to use.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. It works on phones, tablets, and computers.
