    Let's take a few minutes to review the existing ARIA roles to ensure that there aren't more appropriate roles than our default (gricell).

    I've reviewed the ARIA roles again, and I don't see any roles that seem more appropriate than the grid/gridcell that we are currently using.

    In discussions with Rich Schwerdtfeger (of IBM) and Rob Gallo (of Freedom Scientific), it came to light that grid/gridcell are not appropriate roles, and that a role of 'region' (or something like that) would be more appropriate for a portlet.

    We should check the ARIA best practices and find out exactly what the role is, and change it.

    Used "section" and "region" instead of "grid" and "gridcell"

  • Anastasia Cheetham commented 2008-06-04T14:19:39.000-0400

    Apparently, "section" is an abstract role, and shouldn't be used directly. I'll investigate an alternative.

    We now use "main" and "article" for the container and the portlets.
