Accessible Tree View?

Donald,

You might want to look at the tree view widget that is part of the Dojo framework (http://www.dojotoolkit.org/). Becky Gibson has done a lot of excellent work to make the dojo widgets accessible. You may also want to look at Yahoo's YUI javascript framework. I know they have been working on improving its accessibility. However, I have not had the opportunity to try that framework out lately, so I don't know how accessible the tree view is.

Additionally, John Gunderson has a list of ARIA examples at the ICITA site: http://test.cita.illinois.edu/aria/index.php
Those examples may also be helpful in helping you find or create an accessible tree view.
