Re: TBODY

Hi,

 

Thought I'd jump in on this one- I tested some simple HTML tables (both with
and without the <TBODY> element) using JAWS 10.0 and NVDA 2012.2.1. None of
these seemed to recognize, or change behavior due to, <TBODY>.

 

I'm hard-pressed to think of an example or situation where changing screen
reader behaviour for <TBODY> would really be mandated; it's an
under-utilized element; many tables have header cells right inside what we'd
consider the table body, anyway; and well-structured, accessible tables are
possible anyway.
