Re: [External Sender]ARIA Drag and Drop Pattern

Hi,
In case it's of help, there is an old article that I wrote to discuss the various considerations that go into accessible drag and drop, available at: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/important-considerations-regarding-accessible-drag-drop-garaventa/

Since this was published, Apex 4X has replaced the deprecated TSG examples, so the links within the article no longer lead directly to the relevant test pages.

To access these, there is a keyboard sortable example of a listbox widget here: (matches the sortable listbox referenced within the article)
https://whatsock.com/Templates/Listboxes/Sortable/index.htm
(Does not have mouse drag and drop enabled)

Mouse drag and drop variations are available at: https://whatsock.com/Templates/Drag/index.htm#main
(Navigate between live test pages using the links within "Template Examples".)

Hope this helps a bit.

All the best,
Bryan
