This session will review the open-source tools developed by the University of Illinois to support web accessibility evaluation, including AInspector for WCAG Evaluation and Headings, Landmarks and Links browser extensions, and the SkipTo.js utility to improve the experience of people with disabilities using Illinois websites. The web inspection tools are designed to support people in learning about web accessibility standards and make it easier to view information for manual inspection of accessibility features. The SkipTo.js utility is the modern way to implement WCAG 4.2.1 Bypass Blocks requirement by analyzing the landmarks and headings of a web page and building a menu for the user to not only navigate to the main content, but also other major sections of the web page identified by the author.
