Charles Chen writes about AxsJAX - a framework for injecting accessibility using AJAX techniques. Pronounced as Access JAX, AxsJAX follows the W3C ARIA specification, and might work as an active test tool for it.

Secure AJAX Mashups
Brent Ashley explains the problem and possible solutions for secure AJAX mashups (via Ajaxian). It has come a right time, when developers are reporting AJAX vulnerabilities. The inherent conflict is because we are using today’s tools in an unintended way, which springs up surprises, especially when we least expect it. [Continue]

A Good Application of Ajax
The Humanized Reader (via Ajaxian) is a good application of AJAX. This can solve usability issues with pages like search results or browsing through archives. The key is that the user does not have to take any additional effort to read more. [Continue]
