A lot of people use ancient browsers or particular versions, because some or other extension or helper isnt supported or doesnt work properly in newer versions of that browser anymore.

What helps is … testing, testing, testing, AND.. most important: Graceful degradation.

Yeah, that topic. Like it once was with (and actually still is) with Javascript.

cu, w0lf.

ps: yes, I am one of these “old browser users”, too. Some strongly sight-“impaired” person, using Pale Moon for Accessibility, because extensions missing with the sad excuse of a browser thats Firefox nowadays.

Tabbing through cards will receive focus behaviour because element with in received focus.

I think, the only way to make it possible without focus-within, is to make the card anchor element.

If you are going to color the background of the entire form, then consider something that does not have such a dramatic contrast difference. For some readers too much of a change (dark to light, for example) can cause pain. If they are using a screen magnifier then their entire screen could become a glare fest. A subtler change, such as a semi-transparent color might be better.

Scaling text (even making it bold) can be a problem for screen magnifier users. It may push the field they had centered in their view out of sight, forcing them to have to shift their magnifier around for every field. In this case, a much fatter outline on the field or a row-level subtle background shift may do the job.
