Last Call: WAI-ARIA 1.0 User Agent Implementation Guide

The Protocols and Formats Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of WAI-ARIA 1.0 User Agent Implementation Guide. This document describes how user agents should support keyboard navigation and respond to roles, states, and properties provided in Web content via WAI-ARIA. These features are used by authors creating accessible rich internet applications. Users often access the content using assistive technologies that rely on platform accessibility APIs to obtain and interact with information from the page. The WAI-ARIA User Agent Implementation Guide defines how implementations should expose content to accessibility APIs, helping to ensure that this information appears in a manner consistent with author intent. This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the WAI-ARIA Overview. Comments are welcome through 17 February. Learn more about the WAI Technical Activity.
