in modern browsers (Firefox >=3.0, Chrome >=16, Safari >=4, Opera 9.5>=, Internet Explorer 8 for a basic support, Internet Explorer >=9 and Edge for advanced support).Support #ĪRIA support improves quickly and is already supported : So always make sure presentation is done through CSS, content control and interaction via Javascript.
#ZOOMTEXT 11 INTRODUCTION FULL#
ARIA makes sense and delivers its full potential when used with HTML5.ĪRIA does not add any particular behaviour or any style to UI components as it is only descriptive. ARIA also defines how an interface component has to behave with the keyboard in order to standardize the user experience with keyboard navigation. With ARIA, one can describe elements and behaviours with simple HTML when they do not exist natively, for example tabs, drop-downs, live regions, tooltips, modal windows, etc. This recommendation consists of roles, states and properties that will specifically interact with assistive technologies ( AT). We are currently at the 1.1 version of ARIA et for the Authoring Practices, an ARIAbest practices.ĪRIA is a semantic wrapper based on the attribute / value combination used in markup languages such as HTML, SVG, XML, etc. To overcome these limitations, the W3C / WAI has officially issued a recommendation called ARIA, standing for Accessible Rich Internet Applications, and several documents on the use of ARIA.
So it is very difficult or impossible to make these components accessible with conventional HTML.Įven with the HTML5 change, we still lack semantics to provide technical aids (screen readers, magnifiying software, …), keyboard navigation is often impossible, complex handling of the keyboard focus is missing and live regions are not notified to the user, in particular for the screenreaders. Web sites are increasingly dynamic (asynchronous loading, dynamic content generation) and interactive (rich interface components: slider, datepicker…).
