The group now pursues its mission through research, product development, and by working in schools and educational settings that further such universal design. That's where Bobby comes into the picture. Bobby is a Web-based tool that analyzes Web pages for accessibility to people with disabilities. It's a program written in pure Java that will access each page of your site and analyze it for compliance with the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines . Bobby also analyzes Web pages for compatibility with various browsers.
Analysis is based on documentation from browser vendors, when available.
Bobby automatically checks sites for compatibility with HTML 4.0. For accessibility and tag compatibility with other browser's specifications, you can use the program's Advanced Options. You don't have to dumb down your site in order to win Bobby's approval. All you have to do is make it usable by everyone. Whenever Bobby finds a problem that prevents approval, the program suggests ways to solve it.
