I would like to download this new toolbar for accessibility testing. Everyone's talking about it but I couldn't find a url - anyone?
I'm mainly here to lurk 'n learn, don't tend to be very chatty but just thought i'd say a few words and see if i could get that toolbar! :-)
TIA and thanks to the list admin and thanks to all the regular contributors.
warm regards, Donna Jones

Subject: RE: [WSG] Web Accessability IE Toolbar
The reasons why the new version of the web accessibility toolbar is IE only:
1. there was a gap in "the market", no tools comparable to those available for mozilla were/are available for IE 2. our programming expertise is limited (if somebody wants to work with us on versions for other browsers/operating systems we'd be interested) 3. our resources are very limited as this project is unfunded so we work on it between paid work and in our spare time. 4. while some people realise that there are better browsers than IE out there, their uptake is still very small , and my original idea was to raise awareness of accessibility issues and provide the tools to "the masses". 5. For better or worse many assistive technology users use IE for web browsing, so i tend to use it for accessibility testing and browsing due to this circumstance. 6. What time I have had to work on developing the toolbar has so far been directed at improving the functionality and collaborating with others to create versions in other languages.
