[ANN] Ruby Accessibility Analysis Kit (RAAKT) 0.4

Raakt is a toolkit to find accessibility issues in HTML documents.
It can be used as part of a an automatic test procedure or as a
command line tool to evaluate remote web sites. Focus is on finding
accessibility issues that never should be present (thus, there are no
"...if applicable"), and that are machine testable (you have to test
your content some other way).
Changelog for 0.4 is:
- Method to load test document from URL (feed_url)
- RAAKT is now easy to use in your Rails testing framework (see
http://peterkrantz.com/2006/accessibility-in-rails-w...
)
- Warnings for more formatting elements (patch by Daniel Morrison)
If you want to play with RAAKT without installing the gem I have
created an online version here:

This service can be used to test remote web sites like this:

Kind regards,

Hello
http://peterkrantz...
itself is broken. It specifies background
color but not text nor link color. Since it is not defined what the
text or link color is unless you specify it, the text may render
invisible.
Note that if you did not set the background it is the users
responsibility to set text and link color that is visible on their
selected background. However, you did set the backbround so it is your
responsibility to set text and link color that is visible on it.
To test your site, try setting the default page colors to something
different (ie black background, lightgray text, white links) in your
browser.
I consider sites with broken HTML/styles also inaccessible.
Thanks
Michal
