Hi!

I'm testing a page for accessibility and am newish to working with accessibility and javascript.

Here's the page I'm testing with a lightbox code: http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/testing_sandbox/wide.html.

I've done what I can do (with my HTML and CSS skills) to make the same content accessible without javascript - to download the PDFs.

I'm looking for tips, ideas, suggestions for making it better. Would some ARIA roles help here? If so, where do I look for resources on improving this feature for accessibility?

Thanks,
Jen
