[webaccessibile] WAI-ARIA for Accessible Rich Web Applications: First Public Working Drafts

[Roberto Scano - IWA/HWG]

Riporto dalla newsletter del W3C:

   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.
