Script or not using tables could be used to solve this, how many of these screen readers are there really in use whereby they have screen readers who can't manage that, for windows I could write a table reader in about an hour, would be about a 5k download and cost nothing, if there are really are users with that limitation, please put me in touch I could help them a lot... > To achieve the same effect in CSS implies that in reality many browsers will > not implement the layout as intended, and that is a real life problem for > designers with a professional image to keep up. There are plenty of representations that "professionals" manage without resorting to tables that linearise very poorly, this kind of HTML is the result of authoring tools generally, rather than human design, in any case what exactly are you suggesting of CSS that really fails that often?
