Do not use "onmousedown" without "onkeydown"

[joaooliveira]

Why is this important?

The onmousedown behavior is used to provide a style change on an element upon clicking on mouse button. We need to consider that there are users who cannot use a mouse and are using a keyboard instead. In this instance the website should have a corresponding style change onkeydown to provide a similar experience for keyboard users.

How can I resolve this issue?

Add onkeydown when you use onmousedwon
