Hello,
A significant update for Visual ARIA is now available which includes new mappings for ARIA 1.1 synchronization plus new features .

These are fully documented with code examples and download links in the LinkedIn article at

Visual ARIA allows engineers, testers, educators, and students to physically observe ARIA usage within web technologies, including ARIA 1.1 structural, live region, and widget roles, proper nesting and focus management, plus requisite and optional supporting attributes to aid in development. The public bookmarklet can be run on any live webpage that connects to the web, or downloaded for use offline or internally behind corporate firewalls.

Visual ARIA updates include: ( http://whatsock.com/training/matrices/visual-aria.htm )
Exposure of aria-expanded on implicit and explicit roles for button and link.
Exposure of native form elements as landmarks when explicit labels are detected. (ARIA 1.1)
Exposure of role="term" plus automatic checking for role="definition" with proper association. (ARIA 1.1)
Exposure of role="figure". (ARIA 1.1)
Exposure of role="feed" plus the parent child association with role="article". (ARIA 1.1)
Exposure of aria-current plus all supported token values. (ARIA 1.1)

Tightened guidance for aria-haspopup to only be valid on focusable elements with native or explicit roles.

Accompanying ARIA Role Matrices updates include: ( http://whatsock.com/training/matrices/ )

Added 'children presentational' details for all relevant roles. (ARIA 1.1)
