GeekUp – Javascript Accessibility
By Ryan
A couple of us went over to the Leeds GeekUp meet last night at Old Broadcasting House for a presentation on javascript accessibility by Dirk Ginader from Yahoo. Some interesting points raised, especially important to the future development of the web and how people interact with sites. The main focus was on making sites that can easily be read and understood by screen readers using new technology that will also be along in HTML 5. The underlying message though was that accessible javascript should always be used to enhance accessible HTML and properly formatted CSS.
