I think you've nailed it Patrick; that's why I asked what user agent Bob was using when he experienced the problem. Now that we know it's Lynx, I'm not surprised he had trouble with a data table. To follow on the 'correct markup' comment, he uses a technique I haven't seen before. Scope is used appropriately for most of the cells, and headers/ID is added on a few of the cells. I've only used these techniques independently (either all scope, or all headers/ID) but not both combined. I'm on a Mac at home and haven't had a chance to test this at work yet, but I'd be curious to know if screen readers handled this technique consistently. Here's that table again for reference. <http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/business-plans/sequoia/financials/summary- table.html> James
