Monday morning sponge #1
I have been slowly sorting through my Delicious bookmarks and come to realise there are some real gems in there! But rather than you trolling through my entire Delicious collection I will try to hand pick out the best of them and post them here!
This collection focuses on Accessibility, ARIA and WCAG; happy sponging!
- Introduction to WAI ARIA After reading this article, you’ll understand what ARIA is for, how to integrate it into your sites, and how you can use it now to make even the simplest of sites more accessible.
- Using WAI-ARIA Landmark roles The WAI ARIA specification defines a set of specialised “landmark” roles. These roles provide a method to programmatically identify commonly found sections of web page content in a consistent way.
- Accessible Data Tables Almost from day one, Web designers began using table elements to control the layout or presentation of information on a Web page. This is what they are actually used for!
- Accessible Forms It can be time consuming to make web forms both pretty and accessible. This post from A List Apart certainly makes it easier!
- Accessible Forms using WCAG 2.0 If you only read one this, read this one; it is truly fantastic article! This document aims to provide web developers and others with practical advice about the preparation of accessible HTML forms.
- Keyboard accessible Google Maps This article examines the problem and steps, towards creating an keyboard accessible Google Maps solution.
- WCAG 1.0 vs. WCAG 2.0 This page shows how the WCAG 1.0 checkpoints relate to WCAG 2.0, which was published 11 December 2008.
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 No accessibility list would be complete without the guidelines themselves. Not a small document but one I have come to know inside-out, upside-down!
