Subject: [WebAIM] Accessibility of Adobe Experience Manager Content?

Hello, All.

I was so glad to find this list. Thanks, WebAIM for maintaining it!

I was hoping there might be some here who have had experience with the content management system, Adobe Experience Manager 5.6, in particular, the content it produces, by default, as opposed to the web application interface used by content creators and editors. I'd like to know if things like carousel widgets, media players, tree and drop-down menus, and other interactive interface elements are keyboard accessible and if they notify changes in state to individuals using screen readers. If they are not accessible, how difficult are these widgets to modify at a system-wide level?

Thanks, in advance, for sharing any experience you've had.

Best,
Rob
