ARIA Was Made For This Accessiblility of JavaScript MVCs
summary
Shows that ARIA features actually solve single‑page app problems: demos use Angular’s ngClick/ngKeypress to make divs operable, Ember attributeBindings to update alt text, and a real app called Distiller adds a focus manager to counter Spine/Handlebars re‑rendering that was ripping focus away. Uses ARIA live regions (aria‑live="assertive") for immediate sign‑in/sign‑out announcements, tabindex/role/aria‑label fixes for hamburger buttons, and proves the changes make keyboard and screen‑reader workflows work.
