Re: Defect in Table

Hi Omair,

Different screen readers do different things with table headers. They 
often also differ in their behavior depending on the verbosity settings.

In this case it looks like NVDA/Chrome announces the header as the 
screen reader is going through the header cells, reinforcing that 
Monday–Friday are indeed the headers of this table.

As I’m not a NVDA user myself, I don’t know if that is the behavior 
users expect. It looks like all the information is available to NVDA to 
make good decisions on the table layout.

Best,
Eric
