Hi,
Does anyone know if you can use the scope attribute, the headers attribute and
the id attribute all together on tables with multiple tbody elements? I'm
trying to use the JAWS 11 feature that only reads table headers instead of
relying on the FreedomScientific table reading algorithm on a table that is
pretty complex. I'm trying to simplify the markup in the table partly to make
it easier to read, and partly to keep JAWS from speaking the entire left column
of the table, which consists of row headers, but some of them span five
columns. I was thinking that maybe if I use multiple tbody elements to block
off the various table row groups, that JAWS might stop reading incorrectly. I
still need to relate some table data cells to the ones in the thead section,
though.
