Web Accessibility Toolbar
Testing and validating our pages is, or should be, a large part of the development process. It's no ones favorite thing to do but I've found a little tool that can make it slighly easier.
The Web Accessibility Toolbar is a browser plugin that provides a set of buttons which allow the developer easy access to functions such as:
- Validating HTML and CSS against W3C specifications
- Resizing the browser window to default sizes like 800x600 to see how the page will render on different monitors
- Easily turning CSS off to see how the page will render for old browsers, screen readers, and mobile devices
- Getting document info such as page size and estimated download time
- Seeing the underlying structure by highlighting table cells and/or div tags
- Checking the site for 508 and WCAG compliance
It's free, easy to download and install, and comes in very handy. While currently only for Internet Explorer, versions for other browsers such as Firefox are reportedly under development.
