Hi,
I've seen a few threads relating to this/requesting this feature going back to last year (http://www.htmlvalidator.com/CSEForum/v ... aria#p3297) and was wondering if CSE Validator is going to support basic ARIA validation soon?
I'm coding a site in HTML5 with ARIA validation tags and it's frustrating to get pages of errors relating to "aria-required attribute is not valid for XXX element".
Thanks,
CrumbBucket

Re: Aria Validation Support
Hello,
Yes, I plan to improve this in v11. Can you send some sample documents that I could use in testing? If you'd like to try a BETA build, then please let me know.
Please send the sample documents to support at htmlvalidator dot com. Thank you!

Re: Aria Validation Support
Hi Albert,
Thanks for the reply, that's good to hear.
The The Protocols and Formats Working Group published the WAI-ARIA 1.0 framework as a W3C Candidate Recommendation on 18 January 2011. As per a news updated from August 2011. they are currently gathering WAI-ARIA implementations (http://www.w3.org/WAI/aria/faq#update). Whilst W3C Candidate Recommendations are subject to change I think it's likely that most of the properties and attributes will remain unchanged.
There's a useful (if slightly lengthy) Primer for WAI-ARIA here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-primer/
From a validation perspective I think the most useful reference is probably the W3C's "Supported States and Properties" page, which details the attributes and properties: http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/states_and_properties
Thanks.

Re: Aria Validation Support
Great, thanks for the links. There should already be some WAI-ARIA support in v10, but I'm sure by now it needs to be updated for V11, along with HTML5 and CSS3 support. I'm working on the updates now.

Re: Aria Validation Support
I'm working on WAI-ARIA support now. If anyone uses ARIA, then please send me some sample documents that I could use for testing or point me to your site. Thanks!

Re: Aria Validation Support
Just joined this board. What is the status of aria support in the validator? Are you still looking for sample documents?

Welcome to the forum!
There is WAI-ARIA support in CSE HTML Validator v11 but I don't believe it has been thoroughly tested. If you'd like to supply some sample documents for further testing, then that would be great.
