Client-side Scripting Techniques for WCAG 2.0

This document provides information to Web content developers who wish to satisfy the success criteria of "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0" (currently a W3C Working Draft). The techniques in this document are specific to ECMAScript although some techniques contain Cascading Style Sheet and Hypertext Markup Language content solutions. Use of the illustrative techniques provided in this document may make it more likely for Web content to demonstrate conformance to WCAG 2.0 success criteria (by passing the relevant tests in the WCAG 2.0 test suite — to be developed) than if these illustrative techniques are not used. There may be other techniques besides those provided in this document that may be used to demonstrate conformance to WCAG 2.0; in that case, it is encouraged to submit those techniques to the WCAG WG for consideration for inclusion in this document, so that the set of techniques maintained by the WCAG WG is as comprehensive as possible. Deprecated examples illustrate techniques that the Working Group no longer recommends, but may be applicable in some cases. Some techniques may have errors that we have been unable to correct since the 19 November 2004 Working Draft since the WCAG WG has been focusing on guidelines and success criterion for this set of Working Drafts. This document is part of a series of documents published by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) to support WCAG 2.0.
