Re: using abbr for headers in tables

Hi,

Yes, I meant the abbr attribute on the header element (as in the subject
line).

I realised that I had incorrectly used the term "tag" in the email after
hitting the send button and hoped that readers would be forgiving of the
transgression.

Thanks for your insightful comments.

I had looked into the usage but found it curious that many references on
creating accessible tables leave this item out.

Any further insights relating to usefulness/use by end-users would be of
interest.

thanks again,

Bríd
