Kim, Have they tried Bobby? This is a company that is dedicated to aiding companies and individuals in making their websites accessible for all types of disabilities. http://www.mardiros.net/bobby-accessibility-tool.html And then there is: WebXACT is a free online service that lets you test single pages of web content for quality, accessibility, and privacy issues. http://webxact.watchfire.com/ If they are truly interested in making their database accessible, simply Google website accessibility and all kinds of options will display.

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.

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.
