Yes, Randy, that does help. I'm sure that others can better address the Web 2.0 aspects.

For table-based layouts, isn't this just one more reason to continue our efforts to convert to CSS?

Does BrailleNote also fail with actual data tables? And, when it fails, can it access the table's description?

Thanks!

Thank Cliff for asking clarification.

It is both. It appears the BrailleNote designs cannot handle tables very
well. As for the Web 2.0, it appears this device has not caught up with it.

Does this help?
