If you are behind a firewall or for some reason other reason that stops the auto updating of the toolbar XML file, you can download the latest Accessibility_Toolbar.xml [English version] file (suggest you right click and do a 'save target as'). Once downloaded replace the xml file that is currently in your "program files / accessibility toolbar" folder. Hey presto the toolbar is updated!

I have been working with the good people from Stichting Bartiméus Accessibility on the drempelvrij.nl toolbar. Currently it is available in Dutch.

An interesting addition to the available testing tools, I look forward to the English language version.

I have been working on an updated "CSS > test styles" function for the toolbar, the original was created by Jesse Ruderman. i have always wanted to beef it up and include some extra features, which I have now done.
