Hi Kim,
Yes. If it really is a web-based HTML table then, certainly, any cell in
the table may contain text. Especially since these guys appear to be open
to making accomodations, I hope we can now get an HTML programmer / expert
involved to take this the rest of the way to completion. You may check out:

Subject: Database Accessibility Question
Hi, I am currently evaluating the accessibility of a volunteer database
called volgistics, www.volgistics.com. The company seems to be open to
making this web based database accessible, but don't know how to do so. They
have already made some changes by labeling the buttons of their menu which
has helped a lot. The one problem I am having is with labeling check boxes
that appear in a table. The way the table is set up is the days of the week
are listed along the left side and the words Morning, Afternoon and Evening
are across the top. There are then a series of check boxes that are in three
columns and 7 rows that correspond with the days and times listed. The
volunteers' availability is marked using these check boxes. They don't know
if it is possible to add a text label to these check boxes. Does anyone know
if this is possible? The Days of the week and Morning, Afternoon and Evening
are not read by JAWS unless using the JAWS Curser. Is anyone familiar with
this database? If not, can anyone suggest ways to label those checkboxes?
Thanks so much.
Kim
