In JAWS 12, FS added a new feature to html tables.  There is now an option in 
the Adjust JAWS verbosity dialog for setting the table title announcements from 
only marked headers, off, column, row, and both column and row.  The default is 
only marked headers.  In previous versions of JAWS it just read the column and 
row headings, assuming the table was laid out to make sense.  
I encourage this advancement.  However, it is not complete in my view and it 
makes me set this setting every time I go to that page.  There is no way in the 
settings manager to change the default.  Additionally, setting this as a 
personal setting for that site in the Insert + Shift + v dialog only works if 
the entire content of the tavle does not change the next time you visit that 
site.  Since the web site that this effects me on every day is TitanTV.com, I 
am hoping it changes from day to day!  A 6 hour grid showing program listings 
is displayed in a html table with the first row is the time slot and the first 
column is the channel name.  Unfortunately, the headers are not marked in the 
html.  So, FS provides me no way to set this new option the way I want!  

Does anybody know how this could be set in the Internet Explorer.cfg or the 
firefox.cfg file from a script?

substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on 
things that matter.
