aria-orientation + menu
|
| |
Hans, Jörn and I were discussing the menu and menubar implementations and we got stuck on the handling for arrow keys.

Dialogs and Screen Readers
|

[link] I've seen jQuery-ui use increasing drammatically in the web apps I'm testing for accessibility. This is excellent, since much of the hard work with respect to accessibility has been done, and done well! One of the sticking points, however, has been the dialog widget. Tagging... more »
