Tablist Examples: Improve support for magnification (pull #2625)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Resolves #2284 and #2257 with the following changes: 
1. Changes CSS so it defines tab width as a percentage of screen width. This prevents screen magnification from causing horizontal scrolling. As the screen is magnified ,the height of the tabs increases and the tab content reflows to fit the new dimensions.
2. Adds explanation of the use of percentage to the Accessibility Features section.

Note that since the first element in every <code>tabpanel</code> is a focusable element (i.e., a link), the <code>tabpanel</code> is <strong>not</strong> included in the page <kbd>Tab</kbd> sequence.
To make it easy for screen reader users to navigate from a tab to the beginning of content in the active <code>tabpanel</code>, it is recommended that all <code>tabpanel</code> elements in a tab set are focusable if there are any panels in the set that contain content where the first element in the panel is not focusable.</li>
