Yeah, the webdev toolbar for Firefox has direct links to the cynthiasays (WAI) checker and the section 508 checker along with some other useful tools so if you don't already have it, that's a must for all developers. http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ There's also a colour contrast analyzer that's pretty useful for Firefox here http://juicystudio.com/article/colour-contrast-analyser-firefox-extension.php I use these as an initial starting point for testing accessibility but as you've rightly pointed out, these won't guarantee accessibility so manual testing and common sense are much more important once you've performed these initial tests.

Re: [WSG] WCAG conformance and checking
Hi Simon, I realize no automated checking is foolproof...but are there any good automated tools to assist in WCAG conformance checking? ( I hear cynthia mentioned from time to time...any good/any details? Any others? Any good Firefox extensions/plug-ins? while some guidelines can be checked automatically, others have to be checked manually. Apart from Cynthia, which is ok, I would strongly recommend TAW³, which is available as an online service, a standalone version for download and as a Firefox extension.
