Hello:

The one I intend to learn and use is Fireeyes, in conjunction with
Firefox and the Firebug plugin.

And if I have accessibility issues, I hope that we'll be able to work
together to resolve them. See:

I also plan to take a close look at WAVE from WebAIM.

I'm confident that having as many tools as possible in my toolkit
will prove valuable.
