Sign up for FREE account and test web sites two links deep.

Major New Features Include:

* The site wide Report now provides information for each test result
indicating which pages passed or failed.

* In both the Page and site wide Reports, rules are stated more
succinctly and independently of numerical results.


* A 'Rules Summary' page is now provided in 'About FAE', which lists
all Best Practices and associated criteria used in FAE tests.

* The HTML Standards test for the character encoding declaration now
evaluates only to 'pass' or 'warn'.


* A problem was fixed with the test for data tables relating to the
number of rows and columns required.


A reminder that dynamically generated web pages can be tested using the
Firefox Accessibility Extension using the Tools -> FAE Report Option.
