saved to a text file.

Thank you so much, I have been looking for a tool to test across frames
and I-Frames.

This isn't the only one, but we tend to fix things for clients when we
find them! For example, we've also come across an invalid DL rendering
the whole list invisible to JAWs, despite being visible in IE.

I'll try and put a test case together of it, but it was a colleague who
found it, so I just hope it's still there.

Cheers,
