Please don't bite my head off if you see this more than once, I plan to pass this around in case it's helpful to people. The AccDC Technical Style Guide is designed to provide reliable and consistent interaction designs that are accessible to the highest percentage of people possible, and to establish a baseline for Functional Accessibility that can be utilized, built upon, studied, and tested against. Functional Accessibility means that each component is fully accessible from the keyboard, with or without a screen reader running. The live TSG can be viewed at http://whatsock.com/tsg And the full TSG can be downloaded from GitHub, at https://github.com/accdc/tsg The full AccDC Technical Style Guide includes the interactive Coding Arena, where developers and engineering students can gladiatorially hack it out with the cut and thrust of accessible development! In brief, the Coding Arena includes all of the following top level categories, which branch off into specific implementation types: Accordions ARIA and Non-ARIA Tabs ARIA Date Pickers ARIA Listboxes ARIA Menus ARIA Radio Buttons ARIA Sliders ARIA Toggles, Checkboxes, Links, and Buttons ARIA Trees Banners Carousels, Slideshows, and Wizards Drag and Drop Footnotes Inline Form Field Validation and Dynamic Help Tooltips Modals Popups Progress Bars Scrollable Divs Tooltips Web Chat and Dynamic Message Announcement A more detailed breakdown of these categories is documented on the GitHub page, at https://github.com/accdc/tsg The AccDC Technical Style Guide also includes important information, including ARIA pitfalls to be aware of, event triggering model differences between screen readers, widget type variations and conceptual differences, current screen reader incompatibilities, and key structural markup instructions. Best wishes, Bryan Garaventa
