Hi,
My name is Anthony Rayner and I work for Oracle on a web development
team for a product called Application Express. I have a question
regarding jQuery UI and accessibility.
I read on the <a href="http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/?p=313">Paciello
Group Blog</a> that jQuery UI plans to have full WAI-ARIA support in
version 2.0. Is this still the plan and do you have any timescales on
when this may be available?
I know that there is partical support currently and that there are
other <a href="http://wiki.github.com/fnagel/jQuery-Accessible-RIA">projects</a>
that have done considerable work towards this currently which is great,
but it would be awesome for us and our customers to have full support
for all the jQuery UI widgets out of the box.
Look forward to your response.
Regards,
Anthony.
