This actually raises a WCAG issue that's bothered me for a while. I think that, instead of discarding tables for purposes of layout, we simply provide a standard way to define something as a "layout table". For example, by adding a class or attribute to the TABLE declaration. Especially since CSS handles tables poorly. This actually goes beyond WCAG and gets into HTML4 land. In the meantime, we can put "layout" into the summary, as was already suggested earlier. Len ------- Leonard R.
