Robert, the issue that strikes me as arising fastest is making sure that the linking is clear - something more than "*" (an asterisk) as link text is helpful, even just a numbered reference. Other than that linked content is a part of the web, and with a reasonably consistent structure to the information and no strange nasty behaviour (such as using a javascript link to pop out the footnote in a new window) it is probably not a major complexity. (Usability concerns are important though). cheers Charles McCN On Tue, 3 Jul 2001, Pedlow, Robert wrote: Dear all I have a question about designing data tables to be accessible for screen reader users. The particular issue is that a number of the tables have multiple and lengthy footnotes In some cases the footnotes are several sentences. The tables are data tables which are often also quite lengthy. This does not seem to be directly dealt with by the WCAG but I am wondering if anyone can offer suggestions on design strategies for this issue.
