1468247 - Remove or replace oaa-accessibility.org example page links

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: Accessibility, enhancement, P1)

Description

[edtheman74]

What did you do?
================
1. On some MDN accessibility pages such as https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/forms/Basic_form_hints
2. They reference working example pages at http://www.oaa-accessibility.org/examplep/radio1/
3. But the site seems to be gone

What happened?
==============
Looks like the site's been down for a while https://web.archive.org/web/20180224033528/http://oaa-accessibility.org


What should have happened?
==========================
Minor, but double checking if the links should be removed? Or updated to https://web.archive.org/web/20180207191459/http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/ maybe?
Thank you.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================

My best guess from a few minutes of research is that this was a product of the accessibility working group of the OpenAJAX Alliance, which was shut down in 2012:

I think that, since the site no longer exists anymore, and it's a couple of fairly standard HTML patterns, we can just remove the links. I've done so, and done a bit of rewriting besides.
