Key Drive for JW Player is a simple JavaScript library which can be loaded as part of the web page design – and hence would be available to all visitors to the page, or can be applied dynamically to the page on a user needs basis – by creating a bookmarklet.<\/p>\n
Because Key Drive is a 3rd party library which makes use of the JW Player Application Programming Interface (API), it is compatible across all versions retrospectively and going forward (provided the API supports the functionality).<\/p>\n
This means you will not be limited to a particular version of JW Player or the JW Team’s “interpretation” of how accessibility should be implemented (when they get round to addressing it).<\/p>\n
Although the specific implementations of rich media support varies quite a bit across browsers and devices, JavaScript support is universally pretty consistent.<\/p>\n
Using a similar approach to that taken in developing Key Drive for JW Player, I aim to produce a toolkit of accessibility “aids” which can easily be applied to any web page – with consistency, and independently of the original design or functionality.<\/p>\n
