Title:

Get Rich, Remain Accessible

Your vote:
Level:
Intermediate
Type:
Panel
Category:
Technical, Programming
Presenter:
Martin Kliehm , BlueMars
Description:
Web applications often have accessibility issues. Anything can be a button or a dialog box. There's no way for a screen reader to know about the functionality of those elements, and often they can't receive keyboard focus. The W3C standards draft for Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) addresses those issues. A dual presentation with Gez Lemon of juicystudio.com

Gez Lemon and I plan to run that presentation together. Gez wrote a great article about ARIA liveregions at juicystudio.com, and I wrote that article at A List Apart. We would like to present: a) The accessibility problems introduced by the current trend of web applications b) New ways to add semantic meaning, communicate importance, define relationships, and give focus to elements using WAI-ARIA c) How to limit the impact of these problems whilst WAI-ARIA is gaining support by user-agents, and techniques that work right now

I think this is a great topic! The most overlooked by developers but a really important part of making the web usable for everyone.
