Re: a single label where multiple fields follow

Dear All
This thread seems to cover basic form layout ie dob credit cards etc
However i am currently re enginerring a flash application into accessable
html
and i am faced with this situation (Please see enclosed scree shot)
as you can see i have a group of radio buttons that await users resopnse
with a key of 1-5 across the top of the radio buttons
i have produced the following html
<table id="Stems" width="100%">
    <tr>
     <td class="QuestionText"></td>
     <td class="OptionText">1</td>
     <td class="OptionText">2</td>
     <td class="OptionText">3</td>
     <td class="OptionText">4</td>
     <td class="OptionText">A</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td class="QuestionText">Stem 1 Question Text</td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option1" value="1"
class="OptionGroup1" /></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option1" value="1"
class="OptionGroup1" /></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option1" value="1"
class="OptionGroup1" /></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option1" value="1"
class="OptionGroup1" /></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="OptionA" value="1"
class="OptionGroup1" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td class="QuestionText">Stem 1 Question Text</td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option2" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option2" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option2" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option2" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="OptionA" value="1"
/></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td class="QuestionText">Stem 1 Question Text</td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option3" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option3" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option3" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option3" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="OptionA" value="1"
/></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>

     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option4" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option4" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option4" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option4" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="OptionA" value="1"
/></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td class="QuestionText">Stem 1 Question Text</td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option5" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option5" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option5" value="1"
/></td>
     <td class="OptionText"><input type="radio" name="Option5" value="1"
