Code Example 1: Accessible Navigation

				
					// Accessible Navigation Code
					// 
					// This code uses ARIA attributes to create an accessible navigation menu
					//
					// HTML
					//
					// <nav id="nav">
					//   <ul>
					//     <li><a href="/" id="home" aria-label="Home">Home</a></li>
					//     <li><a href="/about" id="about" aria-label="About">About</a></li>
					//     <li><a href="/contact" id="contact" aria-label="Contact">Contact</a></li>
					//   </ul>
					// </nav>
					//
					// CSS
					//
					// #nav a {
					//   color: #333;
					//   text-decoration: none;
					// }
					// #nav li {
					//   list-style: none;
					//   padding: 0;
					//   margin: 0;
					// }
					// #nav li a {
					//   padding: 10px 20px;
					//   border: 1px solid #333;
					//   border-radius: 4px;
					// }
					// #nav li a:hover {
					//   background: #f7d2ce;
					//   padding: 10px 20px;
					//   border: 1px solid #333;
					//   border-radius: 4px;
					// }
					// #nav a:focus {
					//   background: #f7d2ce;
					//   padding: 10px 20px;
					//   border: 1px solid #333;
					//   border-radius: 4px;
					// }
