I cited some examples and references on May 2, 2007 [1]: In a data table accessibility test, Roger Hudson and Russ Weakley describe how "At this stage, it appears that id and headers are the most effective way to make complex data tables accessible. Although id and headers are slightly more difficult to code than scope, the apparent poor screen reader support for scope means that this is probably not an effective accessibility option." http://www.usability.com.au/resources/tables.cfm Example: http://www.usability.com.au/resources/tables.cfm#id More Examples and Refs: http://www.jimthatcher.com/webcourse9.htm#wc9.3 http://www.webaim.org/techniques/tables/data.php#id http://www-03.ibm.com/able/guidelines/web/webtableheaders.html#complex http://tinyurl.com/qmm8b http://tinyurl.com/2fsnkk http://www.ittatc.org/training/webcourse/WAWCSection9.php#WebCourse9.3 http://tinyurl.com/yozae9 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/#H43 Laura [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007May/0212.html ___________________________________________ Laura L.
