WAI-ARIA for Accessible Rich Web Applications: First Public Working
Drafts
The Protocols and Formats Working Group published First Public
Working Drafts of:
* " Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) Version 1.0"
combines the two previously-published ARIA draft specifications:
WAI-ARIA Roles, and WAI-ARIA States and Properties.
* " WAI-ARIA Primer" provides background on accessibility issues
related to JavaScript, and introduces the technical approach
used in WAI-ARIA.
* " WAI-ARIA Best Practices" describes how Web content developers
can develop accessible rich Web applications using WAI-ARIA.
WAI-ARIA 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. An updated "
WAI-ARIA Roadmap" was also published.
Additionally, the Education and Outreach Working Group published a
new WAI-ARIA FAQ and updated WAI-ARIA Overview. Read the Call for
Review: New WAI-ARIA Documents announcement and about the Web
Accessibility Initiative.
