Making Checking for Accessibility of Your Web Pages Easy!
Free Webinar: Demo of Accessibility Verifier Extension for Explorer
April 24 at 2 PM Eastern
Presenter Dick Banks
Most of the major Web accessibility checkers output a complex report
covering all of the WAI Guidelines or the Section 508 standards
depending on which is specified. Wading through the report can be
complicated and frequently requires the user to have a hard copy
of the report in one hand while having the browser open to the relevant
Web site at the same time. This can be especially cumbersome
when the person only needs to check one or two items.
In contrast, the accessibility extension for Internet Explorer interacts
in real time with the site to be evaluated. The user can specify one
item at a time and get an interactive visual picture of the good, the bad
and the ugly all in real time. This can be good for anyone
checking for accessibility, but it is very useful for a Web page designer
with limited coding skill and experience.
The tool can check for all the guidelines and standards including:
• alternative text for images
• row and column headers for tables
• properly tagged forms
• colour contrast
This hour-long presentation will demonstrate many of these features.You
need to register to attend to be sure you have a seat in the
virtual room saved for you. You should also go online in advance and
obtain the toolbar extension for your computer.
