We are setting up a tables for data. they have multiple columns and each column has a header. We also have some rows that have spanned columns for things like "Chapter 1" then the following rows are unspanned and support the table headers. I am confused how the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines addresses this. They say that if you can read things line by line and they make sense, then that is a good "Quicktest." They also list "colspan" and "rowspan" as attributes not directly related to accessibility. My question is, are rowspans and colspans acceptable in a table that has data? many thanks, rob
