I’ve watched a video where I think the main singer from “Sting” has a blind daughter and is pushing people to create “blind friendly” websites.

Hi Folks,

Thanks so much for your comments - great to hear that it’s useful. Just to be sure though the Surf Right toolbar is not intended to be a developer toolbar for testing accessibility, Surf Right is for end users, people who struggle to use accessibility options in IE and want to customise the page.

If you’re looking for a web accessibility toolbar you may want to try out the WAT-C Web Accessibility Toolbar http://www.wat-c.org/tools/index.html also produced by Steve and Jun.

Cheers, Henny

This is nice - great big buttons that are easy to hit. I like the high contrast options and it’s a nice way to show the importance of separation of style and content in web development. Good stuff.

Hi!
This toolbar is perfect!
I’m a developer and accessibility/usability responsible and will use this toolbar for a quick glance at a site’s behaviour without images/js etc. :)
