>> 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,
