Hi all,



When I attempted to use the Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (WAVE) last
week, I couldn’t help but notice that the option for cut & pasting our code
into it has disappeared. Does anyone know why?


I hope the cut & paste feature isn’t gone for good. It was useful for those
of us who code behind a firewall.

Thanks,
~Sam

This functionality was removed from last week's update to WAVE. Even
though code and file uploads accounted for less than 1% of WAVE
requests, we've heard very loudly that this functionality is missed
and we'll be restoring this functionality in the next couple days.

If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check out the new version of
WAVE - http://wave.webaim.org We're still working out a few bugs, but
are very excited about the new functionality and much smarter
evaluation WAVE now provides. Also of note is that we have released a
WAVE API (http://wave.webaim.org/api) that allows easy collection of
WAVE data on lots of web pages. Code and file uploads will soon be
allowed via the API also.

Hi all -

Just had an email from

http://www.baruch.edu/ccvip

and was delighted to find that they have a text only option and some other elderly friendly choices. Those bothered by glare will like it./I recommend it as a model./

I am glad you will be restoring it. I believe it to be very useful.
