Hi Mike,
I think Jim is looking for a tool that does a bit differently. Even I'm
looking for similar. Is there any tool that actually could trigger
accessibility issues real-time as the code being written. For e.g. if I
write something like <img src=.../image.jpg"> and move to the next node, I
should receive a flag stating <img> element is missing "alt" attribute.

Is there anything that could help developers on the fly?
Thanks,
Vasu
