Hi All.  The company i am working for has been commissioned to build a rather 
large internet/intranet portal application for one of our ministries.  My 
company has recommended that to increase and improve accessibility, the app 
should be built using the ARIA model.  As i have been put in overall charge of 
accessibility, i have been asked to research this approach.  For those of you 
experienced with the ARIA approach, i have some questions with regards to the 
tool best suited for the job.
Thus far, I have 2 tools in mind, JQuery and AJax as the java script tool.  
Which of these provides more access? Or should i just resort to using good old 
pure javascript? or is a mixture of the 3 possible? Or if we decided to program 
the app using ASP.net with either VB.net or CSharp, will JSCript help in 
anyway?  Thanks for any help.  Cheers!
