There is no "w3c accessibility validator". I'm assuming you mean the
markup/css validators, and that you're not after a bulk tester, but just
something on the toolbar to test on a per page basis? In that case, web
developer toolbar in FF will do fine...instead of "validate
HTML"/"validate CSS" do "validate local HTML"/"validate local CSS"
instead (which takes the current page's source and POSTs it, rather than
pointing the validators to the current URI)
