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.
