Hi Priti,

> We are currently working on a website that includes Tab Layout and are using Joomla 1.5.15 for building the website.
> Does anyone know of a Joomla plug-in that includes keyboard support for Tab layout?

> Any help with this regards will be highly appreciated.

Here are some links to Joomla! and ARIA related articles etc. There has
been some good work such as Peter Krantz patch adding ARIA landmark
roles to the Beez template and Andrea Tarrs Accessible Admin Template -
which has lots of ARIA goodness such as ARIA Roles on structural
segments, ARIA Property/States on Required & Read only form fields, ARIA
Property/States to flag invalid forms fields etc. [1] [2]
