Can people please say which screen readers can identify the row and column headings for a table cell? As far as I am aware, this cannot be done using Lynx (which doesn't preserve the required information) and cannot be done using Windows 2000 Narrator. I believe it can be done using emacspeak (at any rate, it is possible to go up or down the column to find a header at the top or bottom, and left or right to find headers at the sides, which is equivalent to what visual scanning enables). Are there any other possiblities? When I tried with JAWS (I am no expert, and I had an old version) I couldn't get the information. I can't get it using the built-in speech capability of iCab - that does speak the table cell by cell, including the summary. Same for MacLynx. Mac IE 5.0 and Netscape 4.7 do not provide speech output options.
