Is there a Javascript-based validator or Javascript that leverages an external validator (like WebAIM or ?).
Mu thought is that within CMS systems, adding javascript/CSS that is viewed only within the CMS would allow accessibility review/remediation prior to publishing live pages from the CMS. Karl Groves recently released a CSS file (http://www.karlgroves.com/2013/09/07/diagnostic-css-super-quick-web-accessibility-testing/) that does a little validation and I have leveraged it to function internally I'm CMS as an experiment. This got me thinking about a more "universal", local validator that did not rely on a server or a local standalone app …

Rick: Take a look at HTML CodeSniffer
bookmarklet<http://squizlabs.github.io/HTML_CodeSniffer/>; and
Accessibility Developer Tools extension for
Chrome<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/accessibility-developer-t/fpkknkljclfencbdbgkenhalefipecmb?hl=en>.
Both are client side tools that use javascript to look for accessibility
failures. HTML CodeSniffer has settings for WCAG2 levels, and Accessibility
Developer Tools integrates into Chrome's developer tools nicely.

Interesting. If that was helpful, did you explore Eric Meyer's
diagnostic style sheet [1] or the QA Style Sheet [2]? (We've used to
play with style sheets for such purposes quite a bit.)
