Bobby
Bobby is a free service of CAST that will analyze single web pages for
their
accessibility to people with disabilities. Bobby will also examine a
page's HTML
to see if it is compatible with various web browsers or HTML
specifications.

UPDATE ALERT: On Monday, July 27, CAST plans to release Bobby 3.0. This
applies
to both on-line Bobby and the downloadable application. Bobby 3.0 will
include
both Bobby 2.0 and 2.01 level validation. Bobby Approved will still be
based on
accessibility requirements usable in HTML 3.2. A separate Bobby Approved
4 icon
will be provided for those who pass the HTML 4.0 draft accessibility
guidelines.
The new application includes new options for printing and summarizing
the
results for entire websites.

It doesn't bother me
and I suggest that if it bothers you
- that's why God (or Bill Gates) gave us
a delete key. (David NL Day)
