Accessibility beyond the desktop Reality or myth?

We’re at a cross roads Mobile web 1999 = desktop 1998

Use web standards: Use W3C guidelines: HTML, CSS, MWBP 1.0, WCAG 2.0 JavaScript, XML (there is a cross over)

Innovate with emerging technologies WAI-ARIA, CSS3 Media Queries, HTML5, Geolocation

Let’s not make the same mistakes of the desktop 1998 • Progressive enhancement - media types to media queries • Set a baseline - accessibility supported technologies (both desktop and mobile) • Test - Opera Dragonﬂy (tests desktop and mobile) • One web - avoid .mobi or iphone only sites hennys@opera.com @iheni www.iheni.com
