Lynx (at leat our copy) handles tables, just not the same way a graphical browser does. Lynx throws columns underneath each other correct? This allows screen readers to keep the columnar confusion that McCathieNevile described. BTW, tables- although they were intended for support of columnar data, were as page formatting kludges in one of the early Arena demos out of CERN or an early W3C site correct? -nick T. V.
