Cool. I get:

The Overall Accessibility Report Card on Web Site


You have scored

99

out of a possible 100! This is a good Score, and with some minor fixes you can ensure 100% accessibility. Check below for potential issues!
Deprecated Tags Report

Excellent! No Deprecated Tags Found! You are considerate to your users. Keep it up!


Image Tagging and Labeling Report


Good Work! Images seems to be properly tagged

Input Tagging and Labeling Report


Great! You know how to create Accessible Forms

The Multimedia Report I


No Object Elements found
No Element called APPLET found
No EMBED Element found
No BLINK element found in the document

Report on Multimedia Files used in the page under embed tag


No Multimedia files found under Embed Element

So how does one score 100% there ?

Martin no reason to worry. I also got 99 points which is not accurate. I should have 100.

They claim that I miss images, which it is not true. I assume they figured that out looking for img tags or alt attributes which I do not have, as I use background images with a fully accessible image replacement technique.

I reported them the bug though.

Pretty cool, although the tool seems to miss labels that are not on the same line as the form element that they label, and it looks for accessibility on hidden form elements.

I have been experimenting with a Firefox plugin that is supposed to test the accessibility of pages, but that plugin is in French, and very picky, so I have been unable to figure out what most of the issues it identifies are.

I scored a 99 as well with no errors reported..

I must be a natural at writing accessible code since I hadn't even considered it when writing the page..

The tool hardly checks the minimum requirements of Section 508. Nice tool, but still it needs a lot of work.
