The server side languages like PHP and Java have nothing to do with the 
accessibility of web pages, or with ARIA or JS libraries.
They just create the content, which can be very accessible, or not accessible 
at all.

  besides, I'd think the tried and true ones such as php would be a better 
choice, with this new wiccac (however its spelled) second, and  java third

    Good evening, 


    1. Why do you think that ARIA will improve accessibility on your particular 
site?


    2. What relationship do you think hat ARIA has with Javascript / JScript?


    3. Check out http://fluidproject.org and http://wiki.codetalks.org for 
information on JQuery and ARIA and ARIA generally.


    HTH,

      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!
