- How HTML5 and WAI-ARIA improve accessibility from new semantic elements, form input types, and ARIA roles, states and properties.
- How WAI-ARIA addresses the "JavaScript accessibility problem" by exposing accessibility semantics through roles, states and properties.
- Examples of using ARIA attributes like role, aria-labelledby and states like aria-expanded to make interactive elements accessible.
- How CSS selectors can style elements differently based on their ARIA states to complement WAI-AR
