Organizer:

Description:

Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) is a W3C standard already supported by Firefox 1.5+, Opera 9.5, Internet Explorer 8 and Safari. Since its first proposal we built quite a few test cases and examples, and actually implemented ARIA in large corporate websites. Hear about our experiences.

Questions Answered:

What is the problem with JavaScript widgets?
Which features are supported by browsers and assistive technologies?
What is the use case for ARIA?
What is the relationship between ARIA and Desktop Accessibility APIs?
Does ARIA break web pages on current browsers?
Does it validate?
JavaScript? I thought it's about HTML attributes? Isn't JavaScript evil for screen readers?
Is there a JavaScript toolkit which provides ARIA support for free?
Does ARIA require the use of namespaces, which are not available in text/html?
Is ARIA only for Web 2.0 applications, or can it enhance Flash RIAs as well?

Hi Martin.
This sounds like a great panel - it would be interesting to hear about the current and planned support in browsers and AT and how you found the implementation of ARIA in large corporate sites. ARIA and Flash also sounds very interesting! :-)

ARIA in large corporate websites is easy, because we built them. ;-) Otherwise Google and Yahoo! and all the other good people are adopting it pretty fast, so chances are high you will have some ARIA as soon as you implement YUI/dojo/jQuery.

This (and the Becky Gibson proposal) would warrant a trip to Texas. I really hope it gets chosen.

What is the best internet application for a mac? I currently have safari on my mac and it is good for the most part, but some things need improvement. What is the best internet application for a mac, that includes tabs? Thank you for your help...!!!

I too think safari is the best application for mac if we minus the crash part. It often get crashed leaving me frustrated. Mr Jobs has to come up with a new improved safari.

Why use ARIA? By including ARIA convenience features on your website you are enhancing the availableness of your place or program. By including roles, states and properties, ARIA enables the developer to pretend the write semantically richer for the assistive engineering person. ARIA enables semantic statement of gas or widget behavior and enables substance about groups and the elements within them. ARIA states and properties are getatable via the DOM.Siamese to including the call construct, ARIA is purely an improvement and present not harm your site in any way. In another text, there is no legal understanding to not countenance these features! DojoTools currently supports ARIA. Now that IE8 and Firefox 3 (both in chenopodiaceae at the quantify of this authorship) support ARIA, the other JavaScript libraries should presently select correspond...may I correct..?I welcome your suggestions..thanks..!!!

sounds like pretty..I would like to share...WAI-ARIA, the Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite, defines a way to make Web content and Web applications more accessible to people with disabilities. It especially helps with dynamic content and advanced user interface controls developed with Ajax, HTML, JavaScript, and related technologies. Currently certain functionality used in Web sites is not available to some users with disabilities, especially people who rely on screen readers and people who cannot use a mouse. WAI-ARIA addresses these accessibility challenges, for example, by defining new ways for functionality to be provided to assistive technology. With WAI-ARIA, developers can make advanced Web applications accessible and usable to people with disabilities.

nice i guess it's quite nice... the technology are suppose to help mankind on doing it's functionality as a social being. ARIA, can sure do help those people so they can experience that they never had before.

truly its amazing how it can also help some our friend that they have disability in certain manner.

JavaScript widgets is an interesting topic to discuss.

It would be great if ARIA can enhance Flash RIA. None of the existing search engines can crawl and index the deep web successfully. Hope this new technology will pave the way.

I hate javascript :)

I'd be super into learning from Kris. Dig it!

The Art & Science Of JavaScript
The author line-up for this book says it all. 7 excellent developers show you how to get your JavaScript coding up to speed with 7 chapters of great theory, code and examples. Metaprogramming with JavaScript (chapter 5 from Dan Webb) really helped me iron out some things I was missing about JavaScript. That said each chapter really helped me to develop my JavaScript skills beyond simple Ajax calls and html insertion with libs like JQuery.
