[jawsscripts] Re: Table headers

Jamal,
Yes, JAWS understands the HTML markup of table headers correctly, but there are tables where the markup is incorrect, and also tables where I would like to be able to select which rows/columns are the header ones, regardless of the HTML markup.

JAWS is supposed to understand HTML markup of table headers in
accordance with W3C accessibility guidelines.  If you know such markup
exists in a table but JAWS is not reading the headers correctly, I
suggest submitting a problem report to Freedom Scientific.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Table headers

Hi all,
I guess, it would be possible to define through JAWS scripts which rows 
and columns work as headers, when exploring HTML tables with
Alt+Control+arrow keys. I mean the situations, where the <TH> tags and
their corresponding attributes in <TD> tags are used "inproperly" or not used at all. In such cases, there may be more relevant rows/columns than the top one and the left-most, that sould be announced. Example of that 
kind of table:

# | User name | Location | E-mail
1 | user1 | city x | a@xxx
2 | user3 | city z | x@xxx

Thus JAWS sould be able to speak the data of the second column in this
example when moving up/down in the table.

Was the description clear enough? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Veli
