No previous message | Next message →

A student group at the University of Illinois at
Urbana/Champaign has developed a prototype web accessibility
visualization tool. The purpose of the tool is to generate
graphical views of accessibility problems.

I ask people to try the tool and provide me or the students
feedback on how useful you think the tool is and how we can
make it more useful. There is a comments link on each
page of the analyzer. The students are only going to be
working on the project for a few more months, so please send
comments as soon as possible

Look forward to you comments,
Jon

There is a problem with the visualization tool right now.
Please do not try until the students have a chance to fix the
problem. I will let you know when it is available to try again.

The students have fixed the server problems and I ask you to
try the tool again. The students have only a few more months
before the class ends, so your feedback is critical right now.
Please send comments to me or directly to the students via
their comment link on the tools web page.

http://devserv.rehab.uiuc.edu/accwebsim/beta/

The students are very motivated by comments, so please let
them know when you find bugs or places it does not correctly
identify markup.

Thank you to all the people who have sent their comments:

I found this page very annoying to use.

The content of the page being in a frame made it cumbersome to use because I
could not use the keyboard to scroll the content. Also, if you just included
that text in the page instead of a frame you could use tags to make it
easy to navigate to.

When you click the "link to x" link it displays the content as I would
rather see it, but there isn't any navigation or a way to get back to the
rest of the content. So if I sent that URL to someone they couldn't see the
rest of the site without fiddling with the URL themselves.

The navigation seems useless. It just reloads the page with the same
information.

I'm using Mozilla 1.7.2 on NT on a PC

Hope this helps.

Joelle,

1. The scrolling features will work in Mozilla inside of an
iframe once you move keyboard focus into the frame. This can
be done using the TAB key.

2. There are headers on the page, I am curious what tool you
are using to navigate headers with Mozilla.

3. One can send the url of any one of the tests to someone and
they should be able to see the test. What url did you try to
send someone and they could not use it?

Thanks you for your comments,
Jon
