RE: WAI-ARIA

[Don Mauck]

It should be noted that Oracle is using Aria in all its new and updated applications where possible and we are constantly working with our development teams to use Aria best practices.   -- Best Regards, Don Mauck | Accessibility Evangelist Phone: +1 3033344184 | Fax: +1 3033344184 | Mobile: +1 3032171557 Oracle Corporate Architecture (APO) 7604 Technology Way | Denver, Co 80237 Oracle is committed to developing practices and products that help protect the environment   From: Aaron Smith [mailto:aa...@gwmicro.com] Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 2:10 PM Cc: gw Subject: Re: WAI-ARIA   Marten meant ARIA (that's A R I A, Accessible Rich Internet Applications - http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria.php). We support it in the browsers that support it. The best support is in the later browsers, as they've had more time to implement the functionality. It should be noted that successful ARIA requires many parties: the browser, the screen reader, and the web page developer. Assuming all three of those are doing their part, you'll have success. Most of the major browsers do their part. We'll be doing our part in the next version. Many major web players including Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and Yahoo (just to name a very small few) are already implementing ARIA on their pages. The place where ARIA will fall short will be on those smaller pages who do dynamic stuff, but who don't use ARIA to do it. Those are the sites that you'll be writing to to say, "Hey, there's a standard out there for this stuff. Start using it!"

When I call up one of the free text to speech programs, much, if not all of the web site becomes available to me. When I ask about these sites, I am often told that it is because Window-Eyes doesn't have WAI-ARIA support. Looking up information for this it appears it is related to dynamic pages and advance content. The tools often sited for the development of these pages are Ajax and _javascript_. I am wondering if what I am being told is correct, and if so, can I expect this to be corrected in Window-Eyes soon? > > > > Vic Pereira > > Infrastructure Operations | Operations des TI Shared Services Canada | Industry Canada | Services partagés Canada | Industrie Canada > > 400 St Mary Avenue, Winnipeg MB R3C 4K5 | 400, avenue St Mary, Winnipeg MB R3C 4K5 vic.pere...@ic.gc.ca Telephone | Téléphone 204-983-0653 Facsimile | Télécopieur 204-984-4205 Government of Canada | Gouvernement du Canada > > > >   > > > > >   > If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
