Hi,
When browsing web sites like Google, have you heard JAWS count the number of
landmarks and wonder what they are or how they differ from the likes of
lists? If so, read on. This is from Alan Dalton in the NDA.
Take care,

If you don?t know where you?re going,
How will you know when you get there?

Hi,
Léonie Watson, the Director of Accessibility in Nomensa, created a very
short, very informative video that shows how screenreader users can benefit
from small pieces of code called "ARIA landmark roles" in webpages:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhWMou12_Vk .
If you're interested in putting ARIA landmark roles on a website, you could
check out the Paciello Group's simple example at
http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/misc/landmarks.html . Dennis Lembree has
more information about "Adding ARIA Landmark Roles" at
http://webaxe.blogspot.com/2010/04/adding-aria-landmark-roles.html . You
can read about ARIA landmark roles in the official W3C specification at
http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#landmark_roles .
Regards,
Alan.
