<quote> ... This is a long summary, but was well received by our testers. It may be useful to note the comment from an accountant on a WCAG discussion started by Terrence Wood: In fact, the summary may need to be even more detailed and longer Without a summary for guidance, one can spend several minutes trying to decipher the content in a complex table and get very very frustrated. But a summary that explains the structure allows one to build a mental model of the table and understand the content as one navigates it. At times one might have to revisit the summary but that is OK.

The important point is helping develop a mental model, hence the "draw what you hear" exercise I mentioned earlier. -- kind regards Terrence Wood. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
