Re: valid table?

Assuming that the left and right square brackets are just there to highlight the use of the image this code should work fine. I would recommend just using alt="PDF" since "Portable Document Format" is less widely understood.

I went ahead and tested the code using JFW versions 9-12 and found a bit of quirkiness in versions 9 and 11. In these two versions the full text "Document Title Portable Document Format 100KB" was only read when I read the links in using text reading commands or a links list. If I navigated by tab it only read "Document Title." I only tested on one workstation though so it may have been a workstation issue.

With 150 JFW users in our network we are used to seeing a lot of different behaviors with seemingly identical configurations. For example, we were looking at an issue this morning where one of our users workstations would not read the items in a drop down menu as he moved through the choices, he had to exit the dropdown and go back to get JFW 9 to read what was selected. We could not identify a problem in the code nor could we duplicate the problem on two other workstations with similar configurations.
