RFC: Specify WAI-ARIA feature about fancytree

[mar10]

Closing RFC issues, because they should not appear as Open Issue.

This thread is still open for discussion!

hia all. yes, aria-compatibility is also a issue for a project we do for the university of basel, switzerland. we use fancytree in an important portal, but we get requests to be fully accessable and this is a stopping point for the moment. we would be very happy if this topic would be reevaluated... :)

Hi,

There is already a tree.aria option and some specification with open questions.
Are you able to help or contribute by testing with different clients or proposing markup enhancements?

In a sliding area, I have fancy tree for navigation. When the sliding area is collapsed, elements in fancytree shouldn't be read by screen reader. I have tried to add following on the main container

 jQuery("#tree_container").css("display","none");
 jQuery("#tree_container").attr("aria-hidden","true");

But the nodes are still getting a focus. Is there a utility method in fancytree to enable/disable accessibility as and when required?
