ARIA Roles and Properties
NOTE: The selected tab panel is maintained by the browser and communicated to assistive technology through accessibility APIs.
The browser communicates this information based on which tab in the tablist had focus last. A aria-labelledby attribute needs to be defined on every tab panel
that points to the corresponding tab for the selected state to be calculated by the browser correctly.
