I had my first experience with a speech browser today - IBM's Homepage Reader. We stumbled into a problem with tables. The page <http://www.isolani.co.uk/articles/table/group9step6.html> is to my understanding an accessible table. It uses the scope attribute to define the relationship between table headers and data. I was expecting the table to be read (from the first td): "Wales Games played 4, Wales Games won 4,..." But it just read the table out one cell at a time in a linearised fashion. I take it HPR doesn't make use of the scope attribute. It got me thinking, is there a resource available on the web - similar to the CSS browser compatibility grid (e.g. http://devedge.netscape.com/library/xref/2003/css-support/css1/mastergrid.ht ml ) - that details which accessibility aids each screen reader supports? Is this info available in a form other than rolling up sleeves and running each screen reader? Thanks, Mike
