Abstract
Currently numerous websites contain dynamic content, but it is difficult to create accessible websites with dynamic content compared to those with static content. Because many platforms can realize Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), it is important that this type of dynamic content become accessible. We propose a method to improve accessibility of RIAs. Our method consists of two phases. In the first phase, we develop libraries to realize accessibility of RIAs. In the second phase, the libraries are automatically applied to RIAs. As an example of platforms that realize RIAs, our research focuses on JavaFX Script.
