There are a number of them, for various different browsers, able to use various different testing engines. The simplest versins function as bookmarklets, and are readily available for any browser. Hera is a tool designed to teach people to test better, so it provides a lot of guidance, and can be slow. The Wave is designed to highlight things for professionals, so it has a lot of information presented on the page, but is quick to use if you understand the tool and accessibility well. Be aware that any testing tool is only partically an answer, and you need to do manual testing as well. Hera is the only tool I know of that guides you through a complete manual test - but it cannot do the testing for you. There are, besides these two engines, many others available (TAW, Torquemada, CynthiaSays, products from Deque and SSB and Bobby and so on...) cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile Opera Software, Standards Group je parle français -- hablo español -- jeg lærer norsk http://my.opera.com/chaals Try Opera: http://www.opera.com
