Introduction to the Web Accessibility Toolbar (WAT)
summary
Freeware Internet Explorer extension that inspects one page at a time and actually lists images with alt text, can show alt attributes next to images and remove images to reveal missing alt, reports skip links and ARIA landmarks, extracts every link text into a table, outlines paragraph/list/table/heading markup and exposes mismatched heading hierarchy, highlights form controls with label for/ID pairs, and bundles a color contrast analyzer app for verifying contrast ratios on Windows (IE9+).
