Latest MSDN Article: Making ASP.NET Web Sites Accessible

My latest MSDN article is now available, and focuses on Web site accessibility.  Making ASP.NET Web Sites Accessible talks about accessibility guidelines - the WCAG and Section 508 - as well as Microsoft's quiet release of an ASP.NET HOTFIX that fixes a number of Section 508-related accessibility issues.  The article also examines how to extend the ASP.NET Web controls to improve their accessibility.  Specifically, the article illustrates how to improve the DataGrid class so that it will support sorting in browsers that do not support JavaScript.

In addition to this article, I also presented a talk on accessibility at the San Diego Day of .NET Conference back in April 2004.  You can download the slides to this talk here.

Is there any word out there on dealing with dynamic combo boxes that refresh and reload the page when up or down arrows are pressed? I am particularly talking about pages that use postback mechanism to fetch the data back to the page.

Regards,
Vic

This article was taken off of Microsoft's site for some foggy reasons that weren't clearly explained to me. If you want, drop me a line (mitchell@4guysfromrolla.com) and I'll email you the Word document, images, and support code I turned into my editors for MSDN Online.

I saw that you volunteered to send the .doc file and source code to the MSDN article "Making ASP.NET Web Sites Accessible".

If you would, I'd like you to send it to me at ewen@daveewen.us.

Also, do you know of any similiar articles written for ASP.NET 2.0?

Thank you very much.
