Yes I was looking at being able to generate the 'th' element without reverting to hand coding html. I think that the biggest leverage with Lotus is a focus on the 508 legislation / WAI checkpoint 'Row and column headers shall be identified for data tables' I don't think it would be too big a stretch for them to build it into Domino Designer. They have been very good at considering accessibility of the Lotus Notes client. <Domino technical bit> Interestingly enough when Domino renders a view to the web it does so as a table, with 'th' elements for the column titles. Thus it is possible to create a table that satisfies the letter of the above law, but how the resulting 'table' would perform under a screen reader I don't know. </Domino technical bit> I am just finishing (today) an article on how to produce an accessible form with Domino. One of the underlying themes of the article is to produce accessible design whilst leveraging Domino's RAD (Rapid Application Development) capabilities. The form ends up as Double A compliant without too much work. If anyone would like a copy, just let me know. btw Charles I have tried to contact Cynthia Ice at Iris (the developers of Notes/Domino) because I think she is their accessibility person, but no reply so far.
