Internet Exporer shows pages without CSS styles

The Toolbar "IEoptions > Toggle CSS" function disables CSS in Internet Explorer until the function is reactivated. Some people may inadvertently activate this function or forget to reactivate CSS before closing IE. This will have the effect that IE will render all web pages without CSS, and it will also modify the display of other windows dialogs (exampe: add/remove programs) that use CSS for styling content.

This issue can be resolved by reactivating the function "IEoptions > Toggle CSS" which turns styles off in IE until reactivated . (Note: the 'CSS > turn off styles' function disables CSS on the current page only).

The Fix To fix it open IE (have only one browser window open) and activate the Toolbar "IEoptions > Toggle CSS" function, close IE and then reopen.

If the fix don't work... If this does solve the problem you will need to edit the 'accessibility_toolbar.ini' file. This file should be located in the 'program files/accessibility toolbar/' folder. Steps to follow:

1. Close Internet Explorer
2. Open the 'accessibility_toolbar.ini' file in a text editor (notepad)
3. There will be a line of text "CSS=0", change this to "CSS=1"
4. Save and close the file.
5. Open IE and CSS will be restored.

  Bobby is dead and a new function added The online bobby accessibility testing service (as we know it is dead) whatsoever has now removed it, but accessibility can still be checked using the webxact online service that also includes quite a bit of other information. The toolbar has been modified the 'Tools > Bobby' function is gone and the Webxact function has been modified to include:

• Check current page WCAG AAA [new window]
• Check current page WCAG AA [new window]
• Check current page WACG A [new window]
• Check current page Section 508 [new window]

I have also added "CSS > deprecated elements and attributes' function that displays the source code of the current page in a new window and highlights any deprecated elements and attributes found. This function comes from the brilliant mind of my colleague Sofia Celic, who battled her 'regular expression' demons to develop it. Thanks Sofia...
