This tool is invaluable. But, unfortunatly, JAWS and other assistive technology users are not able to test the differentces between the algorithms. And thus they do not get to give feedback on what might be useful for them. Would it be possible to update the tool so that it could work for such tools as well? I belive for such testing, the relationships of each algorithm should be *hardcoded* via the headers="" attribute. (The idea is to test the user experiences - and not to test how good AT software we have.) So, in essence, could the tool be updated to insert the headers="" attribute on every cell which, according to each of the tested algorithms, have any headers-cell relationship? -- leif halvard silli
