#	Page	Tags and summary
1	Accessibility	Accessibility, Guide
		Accessibility in Web development means enabling as many people as possible to use Web sites, even when those people's abilities are limited in some way. Here we provide information on developing content to be accessible.
2	ARIA	ARIA, Accessibility, Web
		Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) defines ways to make Web content and Web applications (especially those developed with Ajax and JavaScript) more accessible to people with disabilities.
3	ARIA Live Regions	ARIA, Accessibility, ariaLive
		In the past, a web page change could only be spoken in entirety which often annoyed a user, or by speaking very little to nothing, making some or all information inaccessible. Until recently, screen readers have not been able to improve this because no standardized markup existed to alert the screen reader to a change. ARIA live regions fill this gap and provide suggestions to screen readers regarding whether and how to interrupt users with a change.
4	ARIA Screen Reader Implementors Guide	ARIA, Accessibility
		This is just a guide. Live region markup is a complex area which is somewhat open to interpretation. The following is intended to provide implementation guidance that respects screen readers developers' need to try different things. The intention is to strike a balance between providing useful guidance on how to use the markup's intended meaning while supporting live regions as an area for screen readers to innovate and compete.
5	ARIA Test Cases	ARIA, Accessibility
		For each example we test the "Expected" results with assistive technologies, for each browser that AT supports WAI-ARIA in. Where a failure occurs we will test the browser for API incorrectness, using tools such as MSAA Inspect. This must be done in order to determine where to file a bug (browser or AT).
6	ARIA guides	ARIA
		Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) defines ways to make the Web more accessible to people with disabilities. A few guidelines to follow that ensure better accessibility, like using drag and drop for placement of the widgets.
7	Forms	ARIA, Accessibility
		The following pages provide various techniques for improving the accessibility of web forms:
8	Basic form hints	ARIA, Accessibility, Forms
		When implementing forms using traditional HTML form-related elements, it is important to provide labels for controls and to explicitly associate a label with its control. When a screen reader user navigates a page, the screen reader will describe form controls, but without a direct association between the control and its label, the screen reader has no way of knowing which label is the correct one.
9	Multipart labels: Using ARIA for labels with embedded fields inside them	ARIA, Accessibility, Guide, NeedsContent, label
		The solution is in an ARIA attribute called aria-labelledby. Its parameter is a string that consists of the IDs of the HTML elements you want to concatenate into a single accessible name.
10	alerts	ARIA, Accessibility, Forms, Web
		You have a form — a contact form, for example — that you want to put some accessible error checking into. Common problems include e-mail addresses that are not valid, or a name field that does not contain at least a first name or a surname.
11	How to file ARIA-related bugs	ARIA, Bugzilla
		The state of ARIA technology has always depended on the community. If you notice an implementation issue, please take a little time and let the developers know. Here's where to file bugs:
12	Using ARIA	ARIA, Accessibility
		The techniques below describes each composite role as well as their required and optional child roles.
13	ARIA Technique Template	Accessibility
		No summary!
14	Using the alert role	ARIA, Accessibility, Advanced, CSS, Example, HTML, NeedsContent, alerts, role configuration, wcag1.2.1, wcag3.3.1
		The alert role is used to communicate an important and usually time-sensitive message to the user. When this role is added to an element, the browser will send out an accessible alert event to assistive technology products which can then notify the user about it. The alert role is most useful for information that requires the user's immediate attention, for example:
15	Using the alertdialog role	ARIA, Accessibility, CodingScripting, HTML, NeedsContent, Role, Web Development, agent, alertdialog, alerts, modal, user, userAgent
		The alertdialog role is used to notify the user of urgent information that demands the user's immediate attention. As the name implies, alertdialog is a type of dialog. This means that most of the instructions provided in the 'using the dialog role' technique are applicable to the alertdialog role as well:
16	Using the aria-activedescendant attribute	Attribute, NeedsContent, Property
		This article describes the aria-activedescendant property.
17	Using the aria-describedby attribute	ARIA, Accessibility, Attribute
		The aria-describedby attribute is used to indicate the IDs of the elements that describe the object. It is used to establish a relationship between widgets or groups and text that described them. This is very similar to aria-labelledby: a label describes the essence of an object, while a description provides more information that the user might need.
18	Using the aria-invalid attribute	ARIA, Accessibility, Attribute, CodingScripting, HTML, JavaScript, NeedsContent, Role, agent, alert, user, userAgent
		The aria-invalid attribute is used to indicate that the value entered into an input field does not conform to the format expected by the application.This may include formats such as email addresses or telephone numbers. aria-invalid can also be used to indicate that a required field has not been filled in.The attribute should be programmatically set as a result of a validation process.
19	Using the aria-label attribute	ARIA, Accessibility, CodingScripting, HTML, NeedsContent, Reference, Référence, agent, aria-label, user, userAgent
		The aria-label attribute is used to define a string that labels the current element. Use it in cases where a text label is not visible on the screen. If there is visible text labeling the element, use aria-labelledby instead.
20	Using the aria-labelledby attribute	ARIA, Accessibility, NeedsContent, broken link
		The aria-labelledby attribute contains the element IDs of labels in objects such as input elements, widgets, and groups. The attribute establishes relationships between objects and their labels. Assistive technology, such as screen readers, use this attribute to catalog the objects in a document so that users can navigate between them. Without an element ID, the assistive technology cannot catalog the object.
21	Using the aria-orientation attribute	ARIA, Accessibility, Attribute
		The aria-orientation attribute is used to indicate whether an element is oriented horizonally or vertically.
22	Using the aria-relevant attribute	ARIA, Accessibility, NeedsExample, ariaLive, attri
		The aria-relevant attribute is an optional value used to describe what types of changes have occurred to an aria-live region and of which are relevant and should be announced. Any change that is not relevant acts in the same manner it would if the aria-live attribute were set to off.
23	Using the aria-required attribute	ARIA, Accessibility, NeedsContent
		The aria-required attribute is used to indicate that user input is required on an element before a form can be submitted. This attribute can be used with any typical HTML form element; it is not limited to elements that have an ARIA role assigned.
24	Using the aria-valuemax attribute	ARIA, Accessibility
		The aria-valuemax attribute is
25	Using the aria-valuemin attribute	ARIA, Accessibility, NeedsContent
		The aria-valuemin attribute is used to define the minimum value allowed for a range widget such as a slider, spinbutton or progressbar. If the aria-valuenow has a known maximum and minimum, the author SHOULD provide properties for aria-valuemax and aria-valuemin.The value of aria-valuemin MUST be less than or equal to the value of aria-valuemax.
26	Using the aria-valuenow attribute	ARIA, Accessibility, NeedsContent
		The aria-valuenow attribute is used to define the current value for a range widget such as a slider, spinbutton or progressbar. If the current value is not known, the author should not set the aria-valuenow attribute. If the aria-valuenow has a known minimum and maximum value, authors should set the aria-valuemin and aria-valuemax attributes.
27	Using the aria-valuetext attribute	ARIA, Accessibility, Attribute
		The aria-valuetext attribute is used to define the human readable text alternative of aria-valuenow for a range widget such as progressbar, spinbutton or slider.
28	Using the article role	ARIA, Accessible, NeedsContent
		The article role is used to identify a section of a page that forms an independent part of a document, page or site. Examples of an article include web log posts, newspaper or magazine articles and use-submitted comments. It is independent in that its contents could stand alone, for example in syndication.
29	Using the banner role	NeedsContent
		No summary!
30	Using the button role	ARIA, Accessibility, NeedsContent
		The button role should be used for clickable elements that trigger a response when activated by the user. On its own, role="button" can make any element (e.g. <p>, <span> or <div>) appear as a button control to a screen reader. Additionally, this role can be used in combination with the aria-pressed attribute  to create toggle buttons.
31	Using the checkbox role	ARIA, Accessibility, NeedsContent, Role, Rôle
		The checkbox role is used for checkable interactive controls. If an element uses role="checkbox" it is required for that element to also have a aria-checked attribute that exposes the checkbox's state to assistive technology. While the native HTML checkbox  form control can only have two checked states ("checked" or "not checked"), a role=checkbox element can expose three states through aria-checked:
32	Using the dialog role	ARIA, Accessibility, NeedsContent, Web Development
		The dialog role is used to mark up a DHTML based application dialog or window that separates content or UI from the rest of the web application or page. Visually, dialogs are generally placed on top of the rest of the page content using an overlay. Dialogs can be either non-modal (it's still possible to interact with content outside of the dialog) or modal (only the content in the dialog can be interacted with).
33	Using the group role	ARIA, Accessibility, NeedsContent

215	An overview of accessible web applications and widgets	ARIA, Accessibility, Guide, Web apps, Widget
		The web is changing. Static, page-based sites are increasingly being replaced by dynamic, desktop-style web applications that make heavy use of JavaScript and AJAX. Designers are creating amazing new widgets and controls entirely with a combination of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. This shift has the potential to dramatically improve the responsiveness and usability of the web, but many users are at risk of being excluded due to accessibility gaps. JavaScript has traditionally had a reputation for being inaccessible to users of assistive technologies such as screen readers, but there are now ways to create dynamic web user interfaces that are accessible to a wide variety of users.
216	Architecture	Accessibility, Developing Mozilla
		The implementation of text and embedded objects in Mozilla is clever but confusing. Here is a bit of history and an explanation.
