I've read that IBM has contributed to making Dojo accessible to blind and vision impaired users. It looks like they rely on ARIA for this support. Which is fine given that IE8 and the other recent browsers offer support.
Does anyone have any tips on
testing for accessibility short of using a screenreader? (We will use a screenreader to test eventually, but that's tedious to do for every screen.)
For code we write ourselves (that predates ARIA), we've been using the technique of turning off the stylesheet and making sure the app is accessible with the keyboard. However, when I turn off the CSS, Dojo widgets degrade into very basic HTML. All the validation etc is gone. Not exactly what I call accessible. So I'm guessing there is a new technique for testing ARIA.
