Accessibility - unable to navigate and shift focus on to a specific page level element

[ryanlynch717]

#1726 - Backbone.history.navigate and Adapt.trigger('router:navigateTo') does not allow us to scroll to and set foucs on any page level element; article, block or component.

If that is the intention, the call to focusInitial should probably take an optional parameter of the selector so that a11y_focus can be called on it. See the call to focusInitial here

The Adapt.scrollTo function [here] does something similar.

Does Adapt.navigateToElement accomplish the above as it automatically calls .scrollTo after navigation

[oliverfoster]

is this an issue that still needs solving?
