What would be ideal would be a name parameter that provides the column name
and row number. I have seen other apps that would generate text field names
consisting of "columnname_rownumber" like Description_2 for a column named
Description and a text field in that column at row 2. This is an easy way
for a text reader to guide an unsighted user. The example given above is
how CodeCharge generates its grid text field labels.
The below html is from such a grid. For some reason, the column name has a
1 appended to the name as in Description1_38 for the 38th row in the
Description column.
<tr>
<td class="GridSoftDataTD" align="middle" valign="top"><input
class="GridSoftInput" type="checkbox" value="1" name="ACTIVE_38" ></td>
<td class="GridSoftDataTD" valign="top"><input class="GridSoftInput"
maxlength="74" size="40" value="NPCPRD.NPC.TABLE.T0133.PACTYPE(0)
" name="DATASET_NAME_38"></td>
<td class="GridSoftDataTD" valign="top"><input class="GridSoftInput"
maxlength="20" size="12" value="PRACTYPE" name="TABLE_NAME_38"></td>
<td class="GridSoftDataTD"><textarea class="GridSoftTextarea"
name="DESCRIPTION1_38" rows="3" cols="50">Practioner Type.
This data is loaded quarterly(?).</textarea></td>
</tr>

Yes, it's correct.
Could you send us an example of html code with rows and columns wich would
fit your need?
So that we could check if it's possible to integrate?
