[Accessibility_sig] Is DOJO accessible?

[Moore, Michael]

Still sort of like building a web app that only works on Konqueror (>95%
of screen reader market is covered by JAWS and Window Eyes).  I would
say its probably a good time to begin learning to develop web apps that
take advantage of ARIA but hold off on deployment unless the app
degrades gracefully and will function without ARIA support.

Browsealoud 4 can read all text in Internet explorer and Firefox. Also
it is able to read PDF's and word documents including excel. Please look
at www.browsealoud.com <http://www.browsealoud.com/>  for more info.

	I've been involved (albeit on the periphery) of the dojo
toolkit's
	a11y/widget implemention. The demos on the website havent yet
had final
	polish for a11y, but they will. The toolkit and the widgets
those demos
	are built on are seeing a lot of a11y work - chiefly to the ARIA
spec,
	but also for general keyboard accessibility and support for
	high-contrast mode. a11y is promised in full for version 1.0
(including
	all public demos) so anything you see broken now is a bug we'd
like to
	know about (if we dont already). 1.0 is due sometime next month.
I'd be
	happy to any comments to the core team, or you can report them
on the
	support forums:
	
	
http://dojotoolkit.org/forums/forums/developer-forums/dijit-development
	
	or even enter the bugs (+description, steps to reproduce etc)
yourself
