Good evening,
A Clarification needs to be made between Java applications and Java applets.
Java applications can be accessible under certain circumstances using the
Swing, and more so using the SWT toolkits. However, a Java applet is not a
Java application and is, AFAIK viewed by browsers as using AWT components and
not Swing components, regardless of which classes one chooses to impleement.
As always I'd love to hear information that corrects this if I am incorrect.
Thanks,
Everett

Good evening,
To the best of my knowledge it is not possible to make a Java applet
accessible to assistive technology as AWT does not implement the accessibility
API and AWT is the view which browsers take of UI components in applets, even
if the components are intended to be viewed as Swing objects.
I'd be happily corrected on this if someone has experienced an accessible
applet.
HTH,
Everett

Hi,
I don't know the first thing about how to take a Java Applet and make
it accessible. Can anyone point me to something that explains how to do this?
Thanks.
