there are ton's of tools just do a search for accessibility compliance - online ones such as http://achecker.ca/checker/index.php aren't bad, and its a while since I used it but I used to like the free version of http://www.totalvalidator.com/

one correction - ADA-508 is typically the easiest to comply with, WCAG is more difficult.

Hi Cathal,

We have addressed all of the 508 and WCAG compatability issues with our module (except the JavaScript noscript issues reported by  AChecker).  There is one remaining issue reported by WCAG.  Do you know if DNN plans to fix this?

Thanks,
Chris

issue would appear to be skin/module related - if you do a view source on this site you will find only one element with an id of "Body" and one with an id of "Form"
