Hallo Jan, thank you so much! No, I hadn't tried that yet. That works so far with JAWS and it would solve the problem of the whole content of that one th-element being read if you refer to all the headers via ID. Would there be any objections to this solution? Or do screenreader users prefer the whole content of the th-element being read, even if it contains up to four sentences? It would be the same for every data cell in the table and there are a lot.
