Important information for Mac OS X users
If you are using a Mac OS X machine, Apple introduced a bug in the 3.6.17 build of Firefox that causes FireEyes to fail to initialize correctly. Either use Firefox 4, or download the 3.6.16 version of Firefox and set your update settings to not update Firefox automatically (Firefox->Preferences->Advanced->Update).
 Do what you couldn't do before--instantly! Test and re-test static & dynamic content, JavaScript web apps, and dynamic page updates, in seconds, while you work! |
Worldspace FireEyes is an unprecedented, nextgen web accessibility tool that ensures both static and dynamic content within a web portfolio are compliant with standards such as Section 508, WCAG 1.0, and WCAG 2.0. You can use another tool, but it won’t be fully JavaScript aware or handle event-based page content, like FireEyes.Does your site:
|
There is no other product on the market like FireEyes:
- It solves the problem of error reproducibility by recording error scripts in a single location, that show the exact sequence of steps required to trigger the problem, and lets you share the report with others so they can see exactly how it happened
- It automatically builds a single report that covers multiple pages or entire use cases and provides a comprehensive list of issues to fix by giving you a transcript of the entire session that you view as a single, drillable report
- It supports color contrast analysis, including situations where the background element and the foreground element do not share an ancestor-descendant relationship or where the background of an element is being set using images
- It lets you choose which parts of which web standards to include in tests. Turn specific tests on or off.
- It includes custom rules for evaluating dynamic content and WAI-ARIA compliance. For example, FireEyes can detect content insertions, track focus changes, and inform the developer of situations that may warrant the use of ARIA-live, ARIA roles, keyboard accessibility, and focus management
- It includes a reading-order analysis with and without CSS, DOM mutation tracking, report filtering, interactive issue remediation, issue retesting, report exporting and script recording and playback
- It provides support for projects on QA, sandbox and production servers, and also supports scope definitions to target analysis on sites that are generated using UI templates
It does all of this, real-time, during development activities, functional testing, and even active deployment.
FireEyes includes the complete set of accessibility rules found in the enterprise level, best-of-class, Worldspace Enterprise product. Sites that analyze cleanly in Worldspace FireEyes will also analyze cleanly when scanned using the analysis and reporting capabilities of Worldspace Enterprise. No other company offers that.
Note: If You Use AT
If you’re an AT user, you’ll have to enable the Firebug “accessibility” option in order to use Firebug with your AT. The Worldspace FireEyes user interface is implemented in 100% accessible HTML. However, in the current FireEyes release, JAWS and other ATs do not treat the HTML within an extension the same way they treat the same HTML in the browser. Given this, some components of the user interface may be more difficult to use with AT than without. The next release of FireEyes will address this problem.
