Pardon the pun, but that old chestnut? Contemporary screen-readers implementing WAI-ARIA (http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria) work with javascript web applications.
- acqq 13y agoEver tried the above site with the screen readers? The sites produced with Meteor? I claim it would be easier for most of the programmers to generate HTML representation than to implement support for that. HTML is basics. Everybody can test it: just turn off JavaScript.
- chestnut-tree 13y ago"Contemporary screen-readers implementing WAI-ARIA...work with javascript web applications." This isn't a web application though (in terms of interactivity), it's a plain text page. Why do we want Javascript to serve plain text pages like this? Also, on the WAI-ARIA site, the expectation seems to be that Javascript is used for dynamic content or widgets (for which there are Aria-roles), but that HTML is used for text content (correct me if I'm wrong about this). Again, if you look at the source code of this page, I can't see how it would be accessible.
