Implement WAVE into web pages, browsers, or other tools

Add a WAVE link to your web page

If you'd like to provide a link to the WAVE report for your page, simply link to http://wave.webaim.org/refer from your web page or link to http://wave.webaim.org/report?url=YOUR URL HERE to process any URL explicitly.

Use the browser bookmarklet

For a quick and easy method of evaluating web pages in WAVE, you can install the following bookmarklet. It will add a WAVE item to your Bookmarks/Links/Favorites menu and/or toolbar. After installing the bookmarklet, simply browse to the web page you want to evaluate then select the bookmarklet item from the menu or toolbar. The page will be submitted to WAVE for evaluation.

WAVE this page! To install the bookmarket, simply drag the image to the left to your Links or Bookmarks toolbar. Or you can right click on the image and select "Bookmark this link" or "Add to Favorites".

Implement WAVE into other tools

WAVE can be integrated into many other development tools. Simply program the tool to process http://wave.webaim.org/report?url=YOUR URL HERE.

For instance, to add WAVE as an available tool in the Web Developer Toolbar, select Tools, Edit Tools..., Add..., type a short Description, select URL, then enter http://wave.webaim.org/report?url= as the URL. WAVE will now be available on the toolbar - simply select Tools and then your new WAVE item to process the current page in WAVE.
