Re: Tables Accessibility Question About TBODY Tag

Hi

I tested a table using thead, tfoot and tbody (this exact sequence) with 
screen readers (jaws 10 and NVDA 0.6p3.a with IE8 and FF4). It reads 
first the sequence of thead, tfoot and then all the content of tbody, 
but it didn'd talk any information to recognize something like a header 
or foot of the table (only the <th>'s  inside the thead), even adding 
the attribute "title" inside thead and tfoot.

This is a mainstream browser feature, so it does not fit into the typical definition of assistive technology, but it does contribute to the PERCEIVABLE and UNDERSTANDABLE principles of WCAG 2.0. I don't know of any special feature of TBODY.
