Thanks for the feedback, folks. I admittedly didn’t take the time to run VO over the multi-level header example, but know it,s ok from a code perspective. Can’t say about VO, but I am too somewhat limited with it, so certainly not the best person to test it. I would trust Bim and Sylvie much more than I would trust myself. :) As I feared, I will not be able to join the call in a few minutes. I have just too much work on my plate and I could be called into a client meeting at any time to go over the scope of an upcoming assessment. I can try to catch up during the week, but it’s likely that I will not be looking into this further before the regularly scheduled call on Friday. Sorry. Clearly, I need to clone myself. Got any good URL I could look into for that? :/ /Denis On May 5, 2014, at 11:22 AM, Sylvie Duchateau <sylvie.duchateau@snv.jussieu.fr> wrote: > Hello Denis and all, > I looked at your examples with NVDA and Firefox 29. > I need more time to look at them with another screen reader. > In both first examples, NVDA does not link the cells, but if you use table navigation, by pressing ctrl+alt+arrows, it associates Brussels with Belgium, France with Paris, UK with London. > In the third example, if you only go dow with arrow keys, it first announces Column 1 Belgium, column 2 France, and so on. > then it says : line 2 Belgium column column 1, Brussels, France Column 2, Paris, Holland column 3, amsterdam... > If you are on the second line and navigate with ctrl+alt+right and link arrow, NVDA says: "Holland column 3, amsterdam. > One thing to note is that you need to go to preferences, documents, and check announce tables and check anounce column and line headers, or something similar.

The TH elements have been assigned a scope attribute in the first example, and no such attributes in the second example. Findings are reported under each example. The third example is only there to compare behaviours when the header cells are on the first row as opposed to the first column. Results are… well… disappointing.
