JavaScript for Everybody
summary
A live JAWS demo shows a major airline site that looks slick but breaks for keyboard and screen‑reader users; the talk gives concrete fixes: ARIA live regions to announce dynamic banners, explicit focus management when the DOM is re‑rendered, and use of tabindex of 0 rather than arbitrary positive tab indices. It cites 80 million Europeans (15%) as stake, shows Ember/Angular examples and code that updates attributes (Angular Material radio group) to make widgets actually usable.
