WAI-ARIA 1.1 Cheat Sheet by Digital A11Y
WAI-ARIA stands for Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications.
WAI-ARIA help achieve the accessibility of complex widgets & dynamic content developed
with Java Script, HTML, Ajax & other related technologies. Since March 20th 2014 WAI-ARIA
is a W3C recommendation & it is being adapted widely by the developer community.
You could think of ARIA as a suite of attributes to be included in your usual HTML code, these
additional attributes will help the assistive technologies understand the relationships, states &
properties in user interface components. In this way ARIA helps developers create applications
that are usable by people with disability. ARIA attributes communicate the role, state & property
symantics to assistive technologies via the accessibility API s implemented in browsers.
