6. Accessible AJAX (self-explannatory)

Charles Chen is working on a Mozilla grant to create AJAX test cases using the WAI-ARIA Accessibility Markup. In particular, his focus is on how AJAX live regions should be marked up. This page contains links to the test cases that he has created as well as his suggestions for parts of the spec which are not yet defined. As this is very much a work in progress and the spec itself is still in development, new test cases will be added and existing test cases may be changed at any time. The latest version of Charle's report on using the WAI-ARIA live regions markup is here.

The test cases are divided into three groups: the simple test cases, the advanced test cases, and the application test cases. The simple test cases illustrate the behavior of one markup attribute at a time. The advanced test cases illustrate interactions between mulitple markup attributes. The application test cases are designed to showcase the potential of accessible AJAX in realistic applications.

• The Simple Test Cases

  • live="off"

  • live="polite"

  • live="assertive"

  • live="rude"

  • controls=[idlist]

  • labelledby=[idlist]

  • describedby=[idlist]

  • atomic="true"

  • atomic="false"

  • relevant="additions"

  • relevant="removals"

  • relevant="text"

  • relevant="all"

• The Advanced Test Cases

  • controls and politeness

  • multiple live regions

  • nested live regions

• The Application Test Cases
