RE: Headers for tables used for layout

I agree with David - you aren't going to be able to have a program give you
a 100% a-okay when there is stuff that has to be checked manually. I would
validate the page in something other - view it in a multitude of browsers
(IE, Netscape, Lynx, IBM Home Page Reader) & make sure that the tables are
all linear - ie: that the information presents in the same order regardless
of what browser is used.

Best regards,

Denise

seems to me that this one of those machine gotchas.  I'd leave it as is
if you can live with the imperfect report.

Hi Everybody

I use InFocus 4.1 for checking pages for accessibility, it shows
violation
for a table, but I have used the table only for layout, so I don't want
to
specify headers for it.
Is there any way, I can put additional tags in the <table so that screen
reader considers it has a layout table, not data table?

Thanks
Viral Patel
