Hi Josh, Thank a lot for your clear and detailed explanation and the image showing the use of colspans. I will use your inner table solution because I will be using the inner tables to present tabular data. The next step I'll have to do is to find out if tables with inner tables are accessible / readable to screenreaders. I'll let you know.
