Thank you for brief explanation. I will contact Hans for further help. The idea behind developing the Accessibility Inspector is to bring accessibility checking into main stream web development tools and to help web developers learn about designing their web resources to be more accessible with disabilities. AInspector mainly uses Open Ajax Alliance rules which are based on the WCAG 2.0 guidelines to inspect the web pages and creates aggregate report of the accessibility issues.
