  • It's particularly problematic where groups are formed of 'fence-sitters'. It only takes a few nay-sayers and the collective goal is thrown into question. The brokers have to be very persuasive, and well-prepared, in order to keep those on side.

  •  
    I couldn't believe this form Microsoft's own accessibility guidance for the latest mac offerings: "Hear most menu commands, options in dialog boxes, and other elements on your computer screen. VoiceOver does not work with the contents of the main document window or the ribbon. For example, VoiceOver does not read your text in a document."

WebAIM: Creating Accessible Flash Content - 1 views

    • Kev Harland
       
      Flash Accessibility Overview Important! Due to lack of Flash support on mobile devices (particularly iOS devices), decreased support in many browsers, poor accessibility, and general transition away from Flash as a commonly-used web technology, using Flash is not generally recommended. This article provides an overview of Flash accessibility with the general understanding that Flash content cannot be seen or used by many site visitors, regardless of disability.

WAI-ARIA FAQ - 0 views

  • WAI-ARIA 1.0 is currently a W3C "Candidate Recommendation".
  • Developing custom, cross-browser JavaScript widgets is more complex, and implementing WAI-ARIA in these is proportionally more complex.
  • "WAI-ARIA" is the abbreviation for the Accessible Rich Internet Applications documents. In order to avoid confusion, please use "WAI-ARIA" (instead of just "ARIA"), at least in titles, headings, and on first reference in documentation.
  •  
    WAI-ARIA is already supported in several browsers and assistive technologies (even though it is not finalized yet). Once WAI-ARIA is stable, WAI will collect and publish a list of WAI-ARIA implementations, that is, what supports WAI-ARIA. Some information on WAI-ARIA support is already available on other Web sites.
