Did you know? – Ajax and Web 2.0
———————————————————————–

Did you know about the accessibility issues with Ajax and Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 is a term associated with the new trend towards web applications using such emerging technologies as Ajax.

However, there are the same accessibility issues with the use of Ajax as any other site that uses JavaScript, just more so. Usually a page using Ajax is completely reliant on JavaScript for its functionality. Turn JavaScript off and the page simply doesn’t work. So redundancy needs to be built in.

As Ajax manipulates part of the page without needing to rely on reloading the full page, a fallback would be to have the whole page reloading when Ajax fails. Users with Ajax get the bells and whistles; users without still get the content, just in a slightly clunkier format.

At a fundamental level, this is the main accessibility issue with Ajax application. But of course, all the other usual website accessibility rules apply as well. The fact that it is Ajax with a fancy name and is associated with delivering the hip ‘n trendy suite of applications dubbed Web 2.0 doesn’t mean the basics can be lost. Ensuring it works with a keyboard and following the rest of the WCAG 1.0 guidelines is essential.
