Context and objectives

This manual provides both:

The general accessibility guidelines to consider during the development of rich interfaces, whatever the target device for displaying the content (computer, mobile phone, etc.).
Practical help on how to include accessibility in some standard use cases (drop-down menus, tabs, etc.) in order to comply with France’s accessibility guidelines (which do not consider ARIA yet).

This manual is part of a set of four complementary manuals that can be downloaded from the www.accede-web.com/en/ website:

Accessibility guidelines for graphic design (to ensure WCAG 2.0 compliance).
Accessibility guidelines for HTML and CSS (to ensure WCAG 2.0 compliance).
Accessibility guidelines for rich interfaces and JavaScript (Use cases to comply with France’s accessibility guidelines) (this manual).
Accessibility guidelines for editors (template).

Note

The solutions provided in this manual are not unique—each is often just one of many possible accessibility solutions. With the required knowledge, most of the solutions described in the use cases can be adapted to the required context.
