Once upon a time Daniel Dardailler shaped the electrons to say... >David Abrahamson (ISO) has asked the HTML WG to make >the "summary" attribute on TABLE required, rather than >option, obviously in the interest of accessibility. I don't think this is a really good idea. Some tables are VERY simple, only a couple of cells which are self-explanatory. I think authors would resent being forced to summarize something obvious. Summary is useful for large and/or complex tables - any table where purpose or context is not clear. But I don't feel it is appropriate for ALL tables. And tables WILL continue to be used for layout for quite some time - especially in form layout. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588Received on Wednesday, 10 December 1997 17:52:20 UTC
