Unfortunately, Adobe Contribute which is the software our content editors use, does not support scope, so <th> with rowspan is the best I can do.

>>Hello,
>>I would appreciate some feedback about this new page that is in

>>http://sbctc.edu/college/_i-FMS-processingNEW.aspx#monthly
>>
>>In the table under Monthly and Quarterly FMS Processes you will see the
>>presentation of documents with the same name that are presented each
>>month.
>>I am concerned about whether this method of presentation satisfies Success
>>Criterion 2.4.4. If a screen reader was reading a links list, it would
>fail, but
>>taken in the context of the table, the user would perceive what month it's
>for
>>by the value in the first column Month/Year.
>>
>>I'm afraid if I add the month/year onto the link label it will add a lot of
>visual
>>clutter and may just make aural clutter for the screen reader user.
>>
>>However, if it is better for me to add the month/year to the link label,
>would
>>it be better at the front of the label or at the end?
>>
>>Thank you for opinions.
