Abstract
A user interface facilitates access to a computer resource by users having accessibility needs. In one implementation, the user interface comprises an assistance user interface (UI) provided as a supplemental UI presented in conjunction with the computer resource and which does not inhibit access to the computer resource. The assistance UI may include UI controls, such as hyperlinks or buttons, to facilitate user access to the computer resource. Particular UI controls and their configuration may be determined based on a category of the computer resource such that computer resources of a similar category have similarly configured assistance UIs or similarly named UI controls. Moreover, particular data features of a computer resource may be programmatically detected and utilized to generate the UI controls such that a particular UI control corresponds to a particular data feature.
