Re: Update ARIA Examples: Live Regions and Tab Panel

I do,

The benefit of the text/html examples is that they can be tested in IE, so 
AT vendors can make them work (e.g. Charles Chen working on Fire Vox for 
IE)

The benefit of the xhtml mime type examples is that they are easier to 
understand by looking at the source.
Don't know if it was a typo, but the actual correct mime type for that is 
"application/xhtml+xml'

Re: Update ARIA Examples: Live Regions and  Tab Panel







Does anyone see a need to have aria examples that are delivered to Firefox 
at "text/html" or should all examples be delivered to Firefox be 
"application/xhtml+html"?
