The free browser-based tool FireEyes, by Deque, allows you to analyze the accessibility of your web content in the DOM, after the browser has interpreted the code, and after JavaScript has been applied to the page. A few of the highlights of the tool:
- Dynamic analysis of JavaScript events
- Scripting to record and analyze the accessibility of dynamic actions and events
- The ability to set "scope definitions" which filter results and allow you to focus in on sections of a page
- Screen reader simulation for quick analysis
- Integration with Firebug, for sophisticated code inspection
- Integration with WorldSpace,an enterprise scanning and reporting tool
Installation Instructions
To install FireEyes, do the following:
- First install Firebug in the Firefox browser
