Thanks Shawn. I guess it is simply to much for Jaws to figure out how the table works from it's visual presentation. I bet it looks alright to anyone with good vision. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean McMahon" <smcmahon@xxxxxxxx>

That's because the author of the page doesn't know jack about html coding, proper style and should pick a different day job! From what I can see simply reading from top to bottom is the best way to read this table. It appears that the table shows the software with a rating of 4 then the software with a rating of 5 and so on. Do a google search for the w3c validation service type the url of this page in the edit field and see if it complains. Send those results to the page maintainer along with your gripees.. Complaining is the only stimulant for progress. Good luck.

I'm looking at reviews of system optimizer software. There is a side by side comparison table on the page but I can't make any sense of it.

PC System Utilities Software Review 2007

The table appears to be nested. I've tried a few Jaws settings including changing document presentation from simple layout to screen layout which made things more confusing.

I would also like to find out which of these programs is screen reader friendly.
