Rick: Take a look at HTML CodeSniffer
bookmarklet<http://squizlabs.github.io/HTML_CodeSniffer/>; and
Accessibility Developer Tools extension for
Chrome<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/accessibility-developer-t/fpkknkljclfencbdbgkenhalefipecmb?hl=en>.
Both are client side tools that use javascript to look for accessibility
failures. HTML CodeSniffer has settings for WCAG2 levels, and Accessibility
Developer Tools integrates into Chrome's developer tools nicely.
