Request for more information

Hi, about 20 years ago I was teaching an 8 bit computer to speak... Something along the lines of what Stephen Hawkins uses. I had included a 'track ball'

And, here we are now. Can someone let me know of .. 1) A full testing system for what is called "Rule 508", I'm using the one that comes with FireFox to verify my code 2) A web reader, so that I can test if my adjusted code reads correctly ?

I've put in the link for 'supressing' the repeated menu list, and am including 'headers' in my <th> and <td> stuff.

I'm not sure as to use a aural CSS, amend my print one, use my standard one.

The main thing that would help me, would be a web-reader & the rules it is expecting.

I am available for this matter on

Pleaase..... Don't send it to spammers !!! (lol), as if you would.

My test area is http://fulltext.phillw.net

Just some sort of guidance of what needs to be done would be great.

Regards,

Phill.

The accessibility and general web-dev plugins for FF are actually pretty good.

Beyond that, unless you're willing to shell out ~$2,000 to IBM, you're pretty much down to Total Validator and Cynthia Says for testing Section 508.

Don't expect any accessibility software to understand CSS. Make sure your default page with the CSS stripped out makes sense.

For testing audio reading, FoxVox is pretty good. Orca is definitely worth looking at as well. Unfortunately, neither of these really give a good picture of what most real-world users have. It doesn't matter how much I don't like it, the great majority of the visually impaired population use JAWS on Windows.

You can get a free trial and they offer educational discounts as well if you're doing research.
