Hi Randal, The problem I saw is that when the user go down the checkbox column he has no feedback on what record he is. He has to read almost a part of the row to know it and decide if he will check the box or no. To solve this problem, I suggest to défine the second or the Third column as a TH and associate with other cell by headers. Scrop is not appropriate beacause, with a TH there, it becomes a complex table. I test it and it works well with JAWS 4.02 Jean-Marie D'Amour A 14:35 2002-07-03, vous avez écrit : >I want to add a checkbox to the rows of a table, so that the user can select >the record that they want to perform an action on.
