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 Lee Roberts wrote: > Congratulations to NILS for such a fantastic tool.
