tool to check the html code in a different way. I think it would be a good idea for a lot of designers to use it. Bobby aproval does not mean the site really is accessible but it stimulates thinking about making them accessible. Too bad bobby does not detect system generated TITLES and ALT texts like button1, button2, image1, image2 etc. Ronald.

a good job of checking the pages, and provides a good report of what it found, and what checks the user has to make that the program cannot determine. However, the program interface is horrible. This was definitely a program written on the PC, and just made to work on the Mac. None of the standard mac shortcuts work, directory services is not enabled(in fact, it uses it's own file browsing method which is even worse), the program controls are part of the window, not the application bar, etc. This needs a major overhaul to look and function like a mac program.
