Out of the Dark – I’m Back

Written by Becka11y on January 28th, 2009January 28th, 2009.

Since this site has been dark for over a year, I really couldn’t call it a blog. Well, it’s time to get back into it! I’ve committed myself to at least one post per month but am going to try for more “short & sweet” posts. We’ll see – I tend to be long winded! […]

The tabIndex attribute can be used to allow nearly any element to be put into the tab order or receive focus programmatically. This has been implemented in Internet Explorer starting with version 5, Firefox starting with version 1.5 and is currently being implemented in Opera 9.5.

These were created using a Dojo 0.9+ version of the widgets so accessibility wasn’t fully complete. The Dojo 1.0 core widget set will have accessibility completed. Dojo Keyboard Demo Dojo High […]

What is a screen reader?

Written by Becka11y on July 17th, 2007. Leave a comment

Here is another theft from my Dojo work – Adventures in Accessibility – What is a screen reader?. This is even more of a cheat since this post refers to the video of a presentation given by Doug Geoffray about the Window-Eyes screen reader. The presentation covers screen reader basics as well as technical details. […]

I work on accessibility of the widget set of the Dojo Toolkit. I created a post explaining high contrast mode on the Dojo site and I’m going to cheat and reference it here as well. I guess that is one way to get some content started! Widgets and High Contrast Mode
