My thoughts This example looks great. It is good to have a landmark example that shows multiple uses of navigation areas. I don't think content-info, search, or navigation need to have a label unless there are more than one. I don't think it needs role of application. I don't know if there are any hard rules on when to use role=application but I think one good clue is when you have to use the arrow keys for navigation such as when in a toolbar or treeview. Also if more advanced keystrokes are needed to interact with components. Since your example can be fully navigated using the TAB key I wouldn't use application. -----Original Message----- From: wai-xtech-request@w3.org [mailto:wai-xtech-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Jon Gunderson Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 10:22 AM To: Jon Gunderson; Becky Gibson Cc: Richard Schwerdtfeger; Sandy Foltz; Michael Cooper; W3C WAI-XTECH Subject: Re: Keyboard access to landmark roles Here is my new ARIA landmark role example, please check the markup to see if it is what you are expecting for land mark roles. http://test.cita.uiuc.edu/aria/nav/nav1.php Questions: 1. I didn't know what to put for a "aria-labelledby" on the "contentinfo" role. Is that OK? 2. Does this need a role of application? Sandy you can use this page for testing the extension changes.
