Add what you are looking for with the Inspect Objects tool as it provides many technical features. This could be included as a note or as a separate link / new technique.

Note: I have been using Inspect Objects for several years as an testing tool to determine accessible name (labels) in applications, flash and web pages. I would be happy to elaborate more if required.

Proposed Change:
recommended configuration:
1. Options Menu:
a) Unset Watch Cursor (performance and allows to test tab order because only keyboard focus works afterwords)
b) optional but recommended: Show Highlight Rectangle (helps find missing focus rectangle by clearly showing focus separately)
c) optional but recommended: Show information tooltip. This is useful for single screens as it shows the required information in a tooltip on top of your webpage.
2. Settings Menu:
a) (optional) In the list of "Diplay in main windows" select Name, Value, Role and State only.
b) required if using Information Tooltip: select Name, Value, Role and State only.

Usage:
1) Tab through a web page or embedded object,
2) check if there is a name property
3) if there is a name property, check if it matches the appropriate label.

If 2 and 3 are true this is a pass, all else fails.; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes:; Resolution: recommended response: Thank you for the suggestion. We assume you mean the "Inspect" tool from Microsoft. We agree that the Inspect tool can be useful for testing. Our test section of each technique, however, is not the appropriate place to provide a tutorial on how to use it. We've instead provided a link to both the SDK, which was previously there and added a link the Instructions for the Inspect tool. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318521(v=vs.85).aspx We've also provided a link to one of our members who has created an article with your recommendations. [DONE] provide a link to the instructions for the Object tool http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318521(v=vs.85).aspx [DONE] provide a link to "Using the Inspect tool to find name Name, Role and Value for Javascript" http://www.eramp.com/david/name-role-value-using-inspect.htm; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
