Hi,
I should read more carefully. Another thing or two you need to do is to put the 
directions outside the table and above it. Then, if you are concerned about 
having a properly marked up table, consider using the summary attribute, the 
caption attribute, or both, on the table tag to describe the table. Second, if 
you want people to successfully navigate and hear table headers with table data 
cells, in this table's case, you need to use th in the top row, not td.

But I see that this table is a row of one column, so I question the need for a 
table at all, unless you may want to do something like put the check boxes on 
the left and the field labels on the right.

Thanks.

Jim

hi,

can someone spot why the text for the first five checkboxes seems to be 
invisible and the three at the end are spoken?
thanks.
