The sentence in question: "If the content and interaction is only supported in a scripting enabled browsing context, for example Google docs applications require JavaScript enabled to work, so it is safe for them to include the ARIA markup inline. Otherwise add ARIA via scripting." It seems like the author meant to say: "If the content and interaction is only supported in a scripting enabled browsing context, for example Google docs applications require JavaScript enabled to work, it is safe to add the ARIA via scripting." Either way, some additional elaboration on when to use markup inline and when to add via scripting would be beneficial. Thanks!
Please specify the section of the User Agent Implementation Guide that this comment refers to. This sounds like text that is in the Authoring Practices Guide, not the UAIG.
Hi Andi, The specific article is: "Using ARIA in HTML" http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/aria-unofficial/raw-file/tip/index.html The section is: Notes on ARIA use in HTML > First rule of ARIA use > Paragraph 1 This bug should be filed under the "Using ARIA in HTML5" component of the "HTML WG" product... I'm not sure why "ARIA UA Implementors" is assigned.
