jQueryUI has pretty good accessibility and will be much improved in
the 1.9 version. The 5.x series of Safari browsers seems to be doing a
better job with ARIA making navigation of web widgets work better. Here
is an example which came out of the AEGIS project to improve
accessibility of jQueryUI:
http://hanshillen.github.com/aegisdemo/
It's a tab widget and each tab has a different kind of widget inside.
I've been working with Hans Hillen and at this point the widgets are
pretty much correct if the screen reader interprets things correctly.
Seems that VO is having some trouble with the tree view at the moment.
Jaws also has issues so it's hard to get it all right.

Hello.
As far as accessible interfaces are concerned you may want to do some testing
with bo. Does j query expose any ellements through aria? Also what is the
current status of webkit aria support? Remember that their is an abstraction
layer used in order to generate the ui. So vo would need Support for these
kinds of events.

Subject: Developing accessable websites with jQuery UI
A friend has started developing a website with a good bit of user
interaction, and is using the jQuery UI to create Combo boxes and
other folrm fields. Are there any elements he should avoid to ensure
maximum accessablility?
