Looking for a relatively visual way to find out how
compliant your site is? Try using Lynx. You can also
download a copy for the PC.

Looking for other versions?

Note: It's a simple technique to demonstrate the value of
structure, rather than validating it, or linting it. It
won't tell you whether your code is actually good or not,
but it will give you a pretty bare bones look at how you've
structure your page. If you are using XHTML and CSS for
example, you might be surprised that a simple re-ordering of
your divs might make a world of difference. Another benefit
is that you will get a clearer sense of how braille machines
will handle it.
