Inspired by Block Class, this module adds additional elements to the block configuration forms that allow users to assign a ARIA landmark role to a block.
For further information about ARIA landmark roles, go to http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria or http://www.nomensa.com/blog/2010/wai-aria-document-landmark-roles.
Usage
Drupal 7
Ensure that the attributes variable is being printed within your block.tpl.php
file - the block module's default template does this by default. For example:
<div id="<?php print $block_html_id; ?>" class="<?php print $classes; ?>"<?php print $attributes; ?>>Drupal 6
Within your block.tpl.php, include the following snippet within the opening div tag:
<?php print $aria_role; ?>Here is the first line of Garland's block.tpl.php before the code is inserted:
<div id="block-<?php print $block->module .'-'. $block->delta; ?>" class="block block-<?php print $block->module ?>">And here's what the code should look like after adding the snippet:
<div id="block-<?php print $block->module .'-'. $block->delta; ?>" class="block block-<?php print $block->module ?>" <?php print $aria_role; ?>>IMPORTANT: Remember to separate the PHP snippet from the existing markup with a single space.
