Aural rendering of tables is discussed in the CSS2 specs. Try: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html. It's in the Introduction section.
The specs call for the use of captions to describe table structures. Attributes are defined which specify how <th> are spoken (once, always). It's a pretty clear document and the rest of the chapter discusses css table construction. drew -----Original Message----- From: darren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 5:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [wdvltalk] Re: td headers On Monday, January 20, 2003 at 19:26, David Blakey wrote: DB> What I want to know is how I can test this.
