This post was suppose to be part of the Validating WCAG 2.0 post. But due to the length of the combined post, I decided to split them. SortSite by Electrum is a complete testing tool for web sites. It isn’t free, but it isn’t very expansive either - the standard version cost 149$ ( complete price list ). It stands alone, and doesn’t require Internet access (there’re couple of information frames that pools data from the web site, besides those, everything will work). The application checks...
Earlier this week, I’ve published my post about Fujitsu Accessibility assistance . One of the problems with this tool is that it still checks only for WCAG 1.0. In fact, most of the tools out there, are still aimed at WCAG 1.0. Following the post, I was asked for a tool that will validate WCAG 2.0. Since I actually need it my self, I didn’t need much more to get on the search. ATRC Web Accessibility Checker The “ ATRC Web Accessibility Checker ” is an online validating tool from the “ Adaptive Technology...
When you develop an accessible site, you would probably incorporate the accessibility test into your QA phase. This is a standard practice, and it is a good practice. However, you might want to test your code yourself, while still in development. This is a good practice too. If you’re running unit tests on you C# code, why wouldn’t you do something similar for your HTML code? If you are developing within Visual Studio, the IDE highlights some elements, and offer some tests for accessibility. But...
While I was researching for my post What's new in WCAG 2 , a new podcast was published in a podcast show I like to watch: Boagworld . It is very interesting, and I think people might find it interesting. The sound is not that great here (there’s a whole bunch of apologies for that on the podcast’s site itself ). If you prefer to see the video on the original site, here’s the link: Video: Introduction to WCAG 2 . If you want to read the transcript of this presentation, it is available on the original...
Last December, at last, W3C published the final release of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 . It took five years to create this new version, and now that it is out, there are many questions regarding this new version. I will try to cover the main issues and questions I’m getting from clients and colleagues, and I’ll be happy to add some more, if you have any (just, send me a line, or add it in the comments). Why do we need the new version? Well, that is the first question that usually...

A few days ago, I was asked to give my opinion regarding the accessibility level of a web site. The lead UI designer said something like “If I understand the guidelines correctly, there is no need to change the design, to comply with WCAG 2.0”. This phrase got me thinking: the person who said it, is a person I appreciate a lot; but yet, something in this phrase didn’t sound right. The point is, that the accessibility guidelines are meant to give the web-developer with some rules and explanations...
Last Wednesday, the SharePoint team announced the December Cumulative Updates for MOSS 2007 and WSS 3 , on the team's blog . There're a few key points about this cumulative update (quoted from the post): WSS continues to remain separate and is not included in the MOSS package All of the latest Global and Local patches for WSS are in the WSS package All of the latest Global and Local patches for MOSS (Excel Server, Document LifeCycle, etc are part of MOSS), InfoPath Forms Server, Project Server...
