I've used it some. Because my applications are behind the authentication wall, I can only paste in resulting html, which is sort of tedious.

I pasted in a horrible, table-based page and it reported short list of missing attributes. --soni On Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 7:49 AM, Kathleen McGee <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Has anyone used the WAVE tool: http://wave.webaim.org/ > > On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 2:17 PM, Philip M Kragnes <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > >> Hi Soni, >> >> I can certainly take a look at your Web application.
