Products Check Web Content for Federal Compliance 

Macromedia and UsableNet have announced the availability of an extension for
Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 and Dreamweaver UltraDev 4 that checks Web content
for compliance with federal accessibility guidelines. The extension is
available as part of the new Macromedia Accessibility Starter Kit, a tool
that helps developers ensure that their existing and future Web content is
both usable and accessible to people with disabilities. The free kit is
available on the new Macromedia Government Resource Center site in response
to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act that requires all federal Web sites
to make their Internet and Intranet content and programs accessible. 

The Section 508 Accessibility Suite for Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 and UltraDev
4, created by UsableNet, allows Web sites to be checked for accessibility in
the same way that a document is spell-checked. The extension can also connect
users to an additional online service from UsableNet that allows test to be
automatically scheduled on live Web sites. For more information, visit the
