I received this e-mail from the folks at UsableNet and Macromedia this morning: http://dynamic.macromedia.com/bin/MM/exchange/extension_detail.jsp?product=d reamweaver&extOid=234570 "508 Accessibility Suite" for Dreamweaver 4 and UltraDev 4, developed by UsableNet with input from Macromedia. This new Dreamweaver evaluation tool allows web site to be "accessibility-checked" much in the same way as you "spell-check" a word document. The extension covers Section 508 and level 1 W3C/WAI guidelines and a report can be run on one page, a complete web site, selected section or any folder. The user can select sub-groups of the guidelines to customize tests to run on different web pages. The extension allows the user to collect answers to manual tests and includes content that explains how to perform tests, why the problems found could be accessibility issues and explains with examples how the problem can be fixed. The extension links through to an Online service from UsableNet that allows tests to be automatically scheduled on live public web sites. The service starts at $49 per year and allows a web site owner to centrally monitor the accessibility of their web sites.
