Web Accessibility Toolbar September 4, 2008
This is a fantastic Web Accessibility toolbar for Internet Explorer, which I stumbled upon recently. It combines a lot of functions which people normally use the web developer toolbar (Firefox) for, as well as some specialised accessibility features.
Some of what it does:
- Validation shortcuts (W3C HTML Validator, W3C CSS Validator, W3C HTML Tidy, W3C Link Checker, WDG Html Validator etc)
- Screen Resize features (change resolution)
- Basic CSS functions to let you check applied styles quickly
- Image alt tag checker and image functions
- Page structure tools (DOM analyser etc)
- Tools. Here it gets interesting, AccMonitor accessibility, The Wave accessibility tool, Webxact / Bobby and more. Also, disability simulators including Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration.
That gives you a pretty good indication of exactly how accessible your site is. You can download the toolbar via http://www.visionaustralia.org.au/info.aspx?page=614
