    I have recently been doing alot of work for government sites and schools, which all need to pass a certain accessibility level.
    Recently (1st of Feb) watchfire's automated accessibility test system was made unavailable to the public. does anyone know of another good/reliable automated accessibility test? reliability being the key as ive found plenty they tend to not give a true idea of how accessible the page is.

    Firefox webdev toolbar includes Section 508 and WAI validators. The results on these reports make the W3C validator look like child's play, but it's a free tool that does the trick when ensuring accessibility.

    my firefox webdev toolbar is slightly different i think. it only has validation for CSS/HTML but no WAI validators. could you just post the link to them here and il just add them in to my tools.

    *edit*

    i'll just reinstall the webdev addon, thanks for your help :)

    For accessibility testing, I use Accessibar and iCATA's Mozilla/Firefox Accessibility Extension so they are pretty useful.

    I use Web Developer Toolbar for web development projects only.

    Sitepoint has some pretty nice resources for usability. I'm particularly fond of this site: http://aprompt.snow.utoronto.ca/
