Web Accessibility Toolbar for IE

Figura 1

The Web Accessibility Toolbar (WAT) for IE can assist in evaluating a web page for compliance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.0 (WCAG 2.0). The WAT was developed by Steve Faulkner in a collaboration between Vision Australia, The Paciello Group (Europe) and Jun of the Web Accessibility Tools Consortium. The source code is hosted on GitHub. The Web Accessibility Toolbar has been developed to aid manual examination of web pages for a variety of aspects of accessibility.

Comments / Specifications / Additional Requirements

The toolbar has been tested on Windows Vista/7/8 and it should work with Internet Explorer 9/10/11.
If you have a previous version of the toolbar installed, un-install it before installing the latest version. Ensure that Internet Explorer is not running during the install/uninstall process.
A few of the toolbar functions will only work when you are connected to the internet, as their functionality relies on online resources (JavaScript, Style Sheets and images) or third party web-based services.
