RE: FAE Reports

Hi,
In the mean time, if I roll back to the previous version, will that solve my form label issues? I am using this for real people now.

We are working on an entirely new version of the extension using the OpenAjax ruleset for WCAG 2.0 conformance, we hope to have this new version out in the next month.

There are a number of problems with the current extension and instead of trying to fix the problems, we are putting our resources into a new version that is completely redesigned.

It will have significantly upgraded feature to improve color contrast and table accessibility testing.

Hopefully have a new version out by mid-October.

Hi,
I'm somewhat concerned, because I am now telling sighted people that these reports are objective evidence that we can show accurately when pages are broken, and when they are fixed. I need to get things back to working. I'm running Firefox 3.6. something or other. I didn't realize that the FAE works for newer versions of Firefox. Is it now safe to upgrade Firefox?

Thanks.

Jim

I have the same problem with the latest version. I don’t think it is us! It doesn’t do data tables well either. I wish I had never upgraded to Firefox 5.0

Hi,
For the Firefox Accessibility Extension Toolbar, is there an option that controls forms reporting? I'm somehow running it and it is not picking up the fact that the forms I'm making it evaluate do not have label tags. Maybe I turned something off.

Thanks.
