AccessChecker
Web site accessibility checker
Release 1.0 is here!
We have finally released the first version of our program. We ran into
some serious cross-platform compatibility problems, so this version is
targeted for Windows JDK 1.3 only. You can download the source
here.
This is a source only release. You are on your own about installing it.
There is a makefile included that should work with only minor modifications
for your system.
Major architectural change
Since we are still alpha software, major architectural changes are bound to
happen. It has been determined that an efficient, more complete, command-line
interface would better serve the needs of more people. Therefore, we are moving
to a C and flex based solution targeted for Linux but hopefully able to be
easily ported to other platforms. We will be using an XML file to specify the
items to check which can either be parsed on the fly every time an html file is
checked or compiled into a fast efficient parser and checker. The use of
the configuration file and regular expression pattern matching should enable
us to support more rules more easily. The first release of the new
architecture will be accesschecker C 1.0 and will cover at least all of the
priority 1 items on W3C's Checklist of Checkpoints for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0
