Description: The Web Accessibility Evaluation (WAVE) Extension provides a mechanism for running WAVE reports directly within Firefox. All analysis is done entirely within the Firefox browser allowing secure evaluation of intranet, local, password protected, and other sensitive web pages. Additionally, because the WAVE Accessibility Extension evaluates the rendered version of the page, locally displayed styles and dynamically-generated content from scripts or Asynchronous JavaScript plus Extensible Markup Language (AJAX) can be evaluated.
Technology/Standard Usage Requirements: Users must ensure their use of this technology/standard is consistent with VA policies and standards, including, but not limited to, VA Handbooks 6102 and 6500; VA Directives 6004, 6513, and 6517; and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, including Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Users must ensure sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations. Prior to use of this technology, users should check with their supervisor, Information Security Officer (ISO), Facility Chief Information Officer (CIO), or local Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) representative to ensure that all actions are consistent with current VA policies and procedures prior to implementation.
Section 508 Information: This product is an accessible technology used to evaluate, repair, or report on accessibility of other tools. It is 508-compliant and needs no further assessment before use in VA. For additional information or assistance regarding Section 508, please contact the Section 508 Office at Section508@va.gov.
