I'm a PWD myself due to neuromuscular disease and may need those captions myself someday, so I'm glad to be doing my part to make the web more accessible for everyone now.

For example, when listing the event on LinkedIn, I'd like to start the description this way: "OZeWAI is a really fantastic web accessibility conference that covers a broad range of topics suitable for a whole range of web practitioners from developers, to designers, UX practitioners and of course anyone interested in creating a more accessible web." – ScenarioGirl* Since LinkedIn doesn't allow HTML in the description, at the end of the description, I would add: * ScenarioGirl's review of OZeWAI can be found at: http://scenariogirl.com/accessibility/ozewai-web-accessibility-conference-2010/ I'd do something similar when listing it as an event on FaceBook. What do you think? Jonathan Hi Lisa

I would like to use your comments about OZeWAI to encourage people to attend.

For example, when listing the event on LinkedIn, I’d like to start the description this way:

“OZeWAI is a really fantastic web accessibility conference that covers a broad range of topics suitable for a whole range of web practitioners from developers, to designers, UX practitioners and of course anyone interested in creating a more accessible web.” – ScenarioGirl*

Since LinkedIn doesn’t allow HTML in the description, at the end of the description, I would add:
* ScenarioGirl’s review of OZeWAI can be found at:
http://scenariogirl.com/accessibility/ozewai-web-accessibility-conference-2010/

I’d do something similar when listing it as an event on FaceBook.

What do you think?
Jonathan

There are a number of documented techniques in making lightboxes and show/hide questions for forms using javascript. These are not just theoretical solutions they are practical and fully tested solutions. @jessica considering the “new specific question” the answer is yes.

Unfortunately some Assistive Technologies fail to provide adequate support for manipulation of HTML elements - just as IE 6 fails to support HTML & CSS adequately. But we don't use IE 6's failure as a stick to beat HTML and CSS developments, do we? If AT fail to support JavaScript (and the User Agent Accessibility Guielines) then we should be putting pressures on the vendors. Of course the JavaScript, just like the HTML and CSS, needs to be implemented correctly. So in answer to your question, JavaScript can be accessible to users of correctly functioning Assistive Technologies.

To generalise this: all questions that ask: "Is technology X accessible?" are wrong. Technologies in general can be used in accessible and in inaccessible ways. This is why WCAG 2.0 uses the phrase "accessibility-supported *ways* of using technologies" instead of "accessibility-supported technologies". Even when users have the latest and greatest version of browser X and screen reader Y, technologies can be used in ways that cause accessibility issues. By the way, progressive enhancement does not solve this issue when users don't know how to turn off JavaScript (which is probably most users), so a developer can't hide behind the concept of "progressive enhancement" when he has created an inaccessible JavaScript-based user interface.
