See a simulation of how the website would be rendered by the Lynx browser; this is a popular check for accessibility and well formed code:
Background information:
-
The Lynx browser is a text-only browser and is a fantastic tool for checking on the accessibility of any web page. It works in much the same way as any other Internet browser (such as Internet Explorer), except it doesn’t have support for JavaScript, Flash, CSS or images. As such, what you see on the screen is a rough approximation as to what a screen reader user will hear when browsing the site.

Lynx is probably the most widely-used text-only browser, and is commonly used by those with visual or physical disabilities. It is available for Windows, UNIX and DOS, while a Mac version is planned in the future. Development occurs on an ad-hoc basis by a small open-source community so support is rather limited. A degree of technical knowledge is required to install any version of Lynx, and it is necessary to compile some versions before they can be used.
