Hi all - We're running into a bit of a conundrum here with regard to table captions and summaries. At the moment, most of our data tables will have both. When there is no caption, there is a summary. However with both a caption and table summary, it's getting redundant since we specifically word the caption to explain exactly what's in the table. In cases where we have a table caption, should we say "See table caption for an explanation of this table." for the summary? Or should we just give the summary attribute a null value. How do screenreaders handle this? Thanks in advance. -- B.K.
