Re: Headers for tables used for layout

It seems to me the recommended technique is to include the summary
attribute for the table tag, as demonstrated on the opening page of the W3C
site:

<table
summary="Layout table: The first cell contains a navigation bar of W3C
technologies, the second contains news, and the third another navigation
bar of W3C pages.">

Hi Everybody

I use InFocus 4.1 for checking pages for accessibility, it shows violation
for a table, but I have used the table only for layout, so I don't want to
specify headers for it.
Is there any way, I can put additional tags in the <table so that screen
reader considers it has a layout table, not data table?

Thanks
