Reading of tables with JAWS

Hi all,

We have a problem with reading of tables with JAWS.
Our page is a search results page in which the results are displayed
in a tabular form. For appearance the table looks like a table but
JAWS is unable to recognise as a table for e.g. If you press "t" with
JAWS its reading "No tables found in the page".
We provided the role attribute (role="grid"). JAWS is able to
recognise this table grid but it is not passing the xhtml validation.
Any thoughts?
