And the short answer is, Yes, I think. Colgroup, and other elements may be more appropriate. Charles McCN (I'm pretty tired, so I might change my mind on reflection...)

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 --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
