Matt we have built the Firefox Accessibility Extension and the Functional Accessibility Evaluator (FAE) to address this exact problem:

Download the Firefox Accessibility Extension:
http://firefox.cita.uiuc.edu

Navigate to the page you want to evaluate and then issue the following command:

Use the "Accessibility" -> "Tools" -> "FAE Report" feature to generate an FAE report on the dynamically generated content for the page. The report shows up in a new tab in Firefox.

Functional Accessibility Evaluator:
http://fae.cita.uiuc.edu

Let me know what you think of the tool,
Jon
