Hi,
As of now I knew little about web accessibility and wish to know much more about it.
i wish to know the systematic process to test any web application for its accessibility.
whenever I create any web pages; I want to ensure that they are accessible
could anyone pls guide me on how to test the web application in a comprehensive manner?
are there any online certifications in web accessibility?
Thanks.
Shri

Hello Shri,

A good starting point are the resources at the W3C:

See also various articles about testing from WebAIM:

Also, see Testing for Accessibility from the RNIB:

And some of our own articles - www.visionaustralia.org.au/info.aspx?page=640
