Actually, without a closing /p tag, it is not valid XML and thus not valid XHTML. Is the lack of a closing p element causing the problem in JAWS, or is it that JAWS just doesn't allow for p tags within a table? It sounds like the tool that output this XHTML needs to be fixed to output valid XML. If adding a closing p tag to each td does not result in JAWS functioning properly, then it seems JAWS should be fixed as well. - Erik At 11:49 AM 2001-01-10 -0600, Frank Tobin wrote: >Tina Marie Holmboe, at 16:10 +0100 on Wed, 10 Jan 2001, wrote: > > I believe you are seeing the results of - yet another - hack to > achieve a visual layout.
