I'm reading up on Accessibility and exploring how to add ARIA markup to my application. I've read GWT's take on this (http:// code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideA11y.html), and looked over some of the WIA-ARIA docs (specifically Best Practices, Feb09, and the newer Authoring Practices, Nov09).
While GWT has some ARIA markup, and I understand that ARIA is evolving. However, I'm disappointed that GWT has done so little. Somethings seem that are necessary and that seem trivially simple are not present. For example, why doesn't UIObject.setVisibility() set the "aria-hidden" state? Why isn't there a setAlt() method for Images or ImageResources, or better, why can't the alt string be part of the @Source for ImageResources in a ClientBundle? What is Google doing to add more ARIA functionality to GWT? When can developers expect to see it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
