AxsJAX

We have been building accessibility support into the Dojo JavaScript toolkit to enable developers to create accessible web applications. But what if you are using a web application written in a toolkit without accessibility support or you are not satisfied with the user experience you are getting? You could try injecting new behaviour with AxsJAX -- the new JavaScript framework from Charles Chen and T.V. Raman. AxsJAX can inject accessibility support, such as keyboard behaviour or ARIA roles and states, into web applications at the browser. AxsJAX is open source and up on Google Code. There's an FAQ and other documentation on available injection scripts (Google Reader and Google Search at the time of writing this post.)
