Hello all,
Does anyone have an accessible tool I can get a list of text associated with link names from a single web page on the Internet or on
an Intranet behind a corporate firewall to help manually evaluate SC 2.4.4?
http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/navigation-mechanisms-refs.html

I would like the tool to dump the link text names into something I can copy from so I can put the link names into a file.

I know I or the developer /evaluator can just copy the link text names from each web page, but I am looking for a quicker way of
collecting the text associated with link names.
Thank you,
Bill

Bill, the AMP Toolbar for IE and the Web Accessibility Toolbar both have a feature that will pull all of the links from a page in IE and display them in a separate window. The link url, on-screen text, and title attribute will be displayed. I believe image links show the alt text as well.

If you want to take ARIA into consideration you would also need to evaluate the aria-label, aria-labelledby, and perhaps the aria-describedby attributes of the links.

Best Regards,

Jonathan

Hi Bill

Try the Web Accessibility Toolbar (WAT) for IE [
http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/wat/]

The Web Developer Toolbar for Chrome, Firefox and Opera [
http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/] can also display links, but
WAT's way of listing text and image links is probably closer to what you
are after.

cheers
Iza
